folly

folly from a wise man is no wiser then folly then from a fool. It carries greater shame in a lesser game.

prayer

God calls us to prayer. Not childhood prayers. Not prayers to fulfill our own agendas. But the prayers of passionate men & women. Prayers that will infiltrate the hearts of a generation. Prayers that will purge the gates of Hell and turn lives around. We must not speak things from the head, but begin to declare things of the spirit. Things that liberate and break the chains of bondage.

success

For some, to wake is victory. For some, to walk is a feat. For some, to love is triumph. For all, to live by faith is success.

The power of Generosity_

Have you ever met someone who astounded you with their generosity? People are moved by generosity. The world doesn’t understand it. It defies the natural tendency of humanity, it goes against the grain to say others are more important then self. Generosity is not based on one's economic status. It’s not the size of the bank account but rather the size of the heart. Generosity is the habit of giving without persuasion.

Here are a few thoughts on generosity I extracted from the he story of Jesus Feeding the 5000 in the books of Matthew & John [John 6:1-15 + Matt 14:13-21]

GENEROSITY HAS POWER WHEN IT COMES FROM THE HEART.

GOD REACHES THE WORLD THROUGH THE GENEROSITY OF HIS PEOPLE.

GENEROSITY STRETCHES YOUR FAITH.

GENEROSITY CREATES OPPORTUNITY.

GENEROSITY HAS POWER WHEN IT IS DEVISED AND PLANNED.

GENEROSITY COMPELS CHRIST TO LOOK TO HEAVEN AND ASK GOD TO BLESS WHAT WE HAVE GIVEN. GOD’S BLESSINGS ARE ONLY EVER INCREASING!

GENEROSITY WILL BRING REST TO THE MULTITUDES.

GENEROSITY OPENS THE DOOR FOR GOD TO REACH THE MULTITUDES.

GENEROSITY WHEN LINKED WITH GOD CAN FILL THE HUNGER/NEED IN THE WORLD.

OUR GENEROSITY WILL OPEN THE EYES OF THE WORLD TO THE LOVE OF CHRIST.

respect

you cannot demand love and respect. But you can certainly give it. Yet when given, it is also received.

unexpected blessing.

Anyone can maintain the expected. It is the unexpected that truly blesses a man.

think tank

If you invite a man to think, do not fluster if he initiates revolution. For revolution is but thought carried into action.

reputation

Your reputation will go before you. but your character will leave the true impression.

- Reuben Leigh Skewes

in it, not of it.

In a world of fear we have peace. In a world of hate we have love. In a world of heartache we have hope. In a world of death we have life.
