Fly The FLAG Of JESUS

Now thanks be unto God, which always causeth us to triumph in Christ, and maketh manifest the savour of his knowledge by us in every place. (2 Corinthians 2:14 KJV)

Don't surrender - Don't Retreat!

He stepped into my office in shambles. I had never dealt with a 'big man' crying like a baby. Why did he come to see me I thought. Try a seasoned and mature Pastor or Counselor. I'm only 25 years. You can be my father. Maybe even my grandfather. Let me deal with the youth I said to myself. I quickly pulled myself together, patted him on the shoulder gently and said, "It's quite OK to cry, you will pass this test."

My first words of comfort calmed the tears a bit and I waited a while for him to talk. He did share much of what was on his heart and then I spoke again. I said, "Sir, in order for there to be a DIFFERENCE in your life, you need to FLY  THE  FLAG  OF  JESUS." I explained in detail what I meant.

In talking with the gentleman, it was clear to see that he had tried nearly everything and everyone in his life, but had excluded JESUS.

I ended the HOPE session by saying, "JESUS  WOULD  MAKE  THE  DIFFERENCE SIR -  HE  SURE  WOULD." He decided to give him a try there and then. I was excited within my spirit. My only wish was that our ministry would have had our Dare 2 Be Different International Mission Centre already, so he could have spent a few days there until we could help him have a change from his current environment.

This touched my spirit and injected me with a new energy to do all that I can, to get this effort and vision off the ground. I thought for a moment and remembered the words of Martin Luther King as he addressed hundreds in his I HAVE A DREAM  SPEECH. I saw what he meant when he spoke about  THE  URGENCY  OF  NOW. 


What if I can get my HOPE  IS  AHEAD readers and others to commit to sewing a $20.12 seed in 2012 towards this effort, I thought. We would have our mission centre quite quickly.


I shook my head and thought again.


This is why so many people start running the Christian race and stop. This is why many Try Jesus and Let Go. Simply because there is no dedicated support. Many get left behind by busy church ministers and members who are caught up in activities rather than in shepherding new converts.

I'm sure you fully understand what I mean.

Dare 2 Be Different MUST  CHANGE  THAT  - I vowed to myself. We MUST show that there is WORTH in FLYING  THE  FLAG  OF  JESUS and living a SPIRITUAL - free spirit and open minded life and not be trapped by different RELIGIONS and RITUALS.

Sometime after, I could see the change in the gentleman. He was really trying and succeeding bit by bit. A scripture came to me from 2 Corinthians 2:14, Now thanks be unto God, which always causeth us to triumph in Christ.

In that particular passage, Paul was excited that God had been with him every step of the way as he advanced the Kingdom of God. He would have seen how the church at Corinth was FLYING THE FLAG OF JESUS and had heeded to his letters and teachings and he was sure that he can now move on to build again.

Jesus ALWAYS makes the difference in one's life. He did so in the gentleman's life. He did so in the lives of the Corinthians and he can do so in your life. Decide to follow Jesus and FLY  HIS  FLAG  BOLDLY from today.

When you do, rest assured that you will be well taken care of in good times and bad and you need not be afraid. Isaiah 41:13 says For I the LORD thy God will hold thy right hand, saying unto thee, Fear not; I will help thee.

With such care in store for YOU. Don't risk it - FLY  THE  FLAG  OF  JESUS  FROM  TODAY!

Let The Haters Motivate You

And they watched him, and sent forth spies, which should feign themselves just men, that they might take hold of his words, that so they might deliver him unto the power and authority of the governor. (Luke 20:20 KJV)

Let the haters motivate you to succeed!

He had walked all the way from the city area, about three miles to see me. He didn't drive or take the bus. He explained that he was so tense inside that he believed the cool walk would have helped to relieve the pressure inside. The gentleman was happy to have someone to talk with. He wanted to just let out.

Having listened to him, I could see that he was at his peak pressure point and I was happy that he came. Trying times on his job was causing all of this. He had recently returned from living overseas and was being quite innovative in making a difference at his place of employ. After he started being a difference maker, his co-workers took off their mouth speech and he started feeling a sense of negativity from his superior. He explained that his boss was probably threatened by the many commendations he was getting from his employers.

The gentleman was well qualified, ambitious and determined. I learned that during our conversation. I could see that he would reach very far in life. He was at the point of planning to exit his homeland again and fly back to the place where he had studied and worked for a while because, according to him, he never felt the negative vibes there.

Having listened to him, I said, "Friend, let your HATERS motivate you to succeed - to excel. From talking with you, I can see that you were not made to be around chickens and ostriches. Those can't fly. You're an EAGLE and EAGLES must SOAR the skies." He smiled.

I knew what he meant, for I sometimes feel the very same pressure, negativity, non support and jealously too at times in my life. In church work, business and politics. I feel it ALL  THE  TIME! I continued, "Thank God for your HATERS because I believe they help to create in us all a determination to PUSH  ON and EXCEL. Whatever your plans are, whether staying or leaving, NEVER  LET A  HATER  GET  YOU  DOWN. Put your plans in the Master's hands."

Daniel was hated. Joseph was hated. Paul was hated. Moses was hated. Even Jesus was hated too. In the passage of scripture above, this is ONE example of how his haters were trying to get Jesus into trouble and get the rid of him.

Thus, if even the one who we serve was hated and never gave up, WE  SHOULDN'T  EITHER. Don't Give Up - Don't Give In - Hope is Ahead. Sometimes God allows us to experience certain levels of pressure to push us into a NEW  REALM so we can receive the blessings He has for us and we can make our impact else where.

Remember Abram? God caused him to leave his fathers home and religion. He didn't know where he was going, but he believed God's word which said, "MOVE OUT! IF YOU MOVE, I WILL GREATLY BLESS YOU. In obedience, Abram never let what the haters said, keep him back from obeying God's instructions. Bible History tells us of the successful results of his move.

Again. Let the haters motivate you to succeed! Hope is Ahead! Don't Give Up! JESUS  LOVES YOU  TOO  MUCH!

Stick In There

 

Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world. Amen. (Matthew 28:20 KJV)

The sound from my phone gave me a wake up call. I had forgotten to put it to charge overnight, so it was next to me on the bed. While browsing through messages received overnight, a particular one commanded my attention. I sat up and began to encourage right away. This situation was desperate. At the end of my words, I encouraged the person to STICK  IN  THERE because God will take care.

We all face varying challenges. Some are bigger than others. Some we can deal with ourselves, others we need assistance. Some stress us for a short while and others bother us for long times. There is something that we must hold on to though. This is the fact that no matter how large or small our issues are, God is more than able to take care of all of them.

What excites me about the particular scripture under review today, is that God says that he will be with us always. He doesn't leave it there, but he underscores his statement by saying that his time with us spans unto the end of the world.

What does that mean? Jesus will never, ever, ever leave us. Let's be comforted in that fact and STICK  IN  THERE!

Did he leave Moses? Joseph? Joshua? Caleb? Peter? Paul? John? Abraham?

We can go on and on and on. Do you remember ever hearing anyone share their testimony of how God came through for them? Yes, I'm sure you have. God never left them. Thus, be comforted friend that He is the same yesterday, today and forever and no matter your struggle, God will be there for you.

Don't Give Up - Stick in There - Hope is Ahead!
