As we have been living here in Kenya, we have seen God move in mighty ways - open up crazy opportunities, people coming to the saving knowledge of Jesus Christ, people crying out for more of Jesus and asking for prayer meetings, even things which cannot explain except a supernatural move of the Lord Jesus Christ.
We look back and reflect on all that has happened - the good and the challenging, health and sickness, the days of burning passion and the days of personal laziness.
Here are just a few recent thoughts for those who care to read them...
The responsibility of personal holiness is not in external circumstances, but in internal resolve to press on and press in!
Location and circumstances cannot be blammed for your failure and neglect in seeking God. The failure is not that God hasn't put us in a situation where seeking Him is easy - the failure is on our part! For we have neither the desire nor the discipline to seek Him!
Think upon some of your favorite stories...
In which stories did your heart rejoice and take you to a place of wonder?? The ones when everything was easy and people did what they always do... Or the ones when despite the circumstances and despite the cost, the people sacrificed, they didn't wait for change to find them, they brought the change in the story.
Our Faith is not one which remains in despair, our faith is one which calls us to fly higher, to go deeper, to press in and press on, to rise above the circumstances! Anything less than this kind of faith is not Christian faith.
May the Lord take you beyond the boarders of your faith and move you into "new and uncharted territories," where your only hope is Jesus Christ and your only desire is to see His glory. May your delight be in His Word, and may your food be to do the will of your Father in Heaven. May God grant us the grace of walking with Him in boldness and humility. May He lead you as you follow Him.
Blessings!
