Weakest Link



Before we can begin building we need to be building on the proper foundation. We don’t want to be the one that built their foundation upon the sand, who, during the first storm, is swept away with the wind and rain. We want to be the ones that build their foundation upon the rock and can take whatever storm, whatever turmoil and make it through it. As a team we must build our foundation upon the rock. We all have situations, circumstances but we can not close ourselves off! Open the door! We weaken our foundation when we close in on ourselves. We must lean on God, lean on each other in times of need. We must begin to cultivate and apply the principles we have learned.
When we choose to make accursed things our own, we are not only cursing ourselves but cursing our households, our family, our team. We are once again weakening that foundation and bringing hardship onto ourselves. The sin that you commit does not just affect you. They affect everyone around you. We must begin to identify the weak links in our lives. Perhaps WE are the weak links in our lives or have weak links inside of us. Garbage inside of us that needs to be rid of. There is no room in the Kingdom for you to carry your trash in. As we begin to identify our impoverished areas we need to then deal with it. When we leave a wound untended it begins to get infected and fester and spread. A small cut can turn into the need for an amputation. Tend to your trash. Throw it out. You can spray air freshener, put the oils in the diffuser but that does not take care of the source. The oils and air fresheners will run out and your trash will still be there, rotting worse than before.
Either you deal with your garbage or God will. Those things are just not worth it. Though we desire them, they are not worth the destruction they bring to our lives, to our teams lives. We must deal with the trash, with the accursed items we have brought into our lives and continue to keep around. If we work in impoverished settings, that doesn’t mean to get rid of our jobs and quit. God called us to be lights in those impoverished areas, to bring His word into those areas.

Core, Crew, Crowd

Where we bring kingdom expansion, we bring kingdom blessing. As long as we are built on the foundation that is Jesus, Kingdom expansion is inevitable. There are many people in the body of Christ today that talk the talk but don’t walk the walk. They put on their make up and good clothes, go to church and pretend they don’t have mess. They envy after the brotherhood of the church, that team but you don’t get that brotherhood without sacrifice. You have to be willing to pay the price. How much of your talk are you willing to walk? There are three groups in the church. The first is the crowd. These people are like the 5,000 that Jesus fed. They are just part of the crowd. Members of the crowd come to receive something and that’s it. We need to begin to take what He’s given us and give it to others. We need to receive what Christ gives us but don’t let it stop there, we must pass it along. As you grow in your walk, church cannot simply be a refilling station. You’ve got to esta...

Action, Timing, Tenacity

God does not desire that the trials we face bring despair in our lives. God desires it brings about goodness and growth in our lives. God allowed the enemy to test Job but it wasn’t so that the enemy could test him. It was to put Job into a place so God could bless him the way He wanted. Now that doesn’t mean that sin takes place because it’s God’s will. Sometimes we’re stubborn enough that we need a little knock on the head. Jesus did not die on the cross for you to wander in the wilderness. It is time for you to enter into the promised land. When I come to the point in my spiritual maturity, enter into my place of kingdom purpose, there are still problems, but I know, good or bad, that God is there. There are many of us in the body of Christ who, we’re in church, but we haven’t crossed over the Jordan. We are still in the wilderness, wanting our tasty onions back in Egypt. It’s time for us to move on from Egypt. At some point we need to come to the realization that being in E...

Teamwork, Dream work

Teamwork is the only way the dream works. We need to begin to understand that when we go through the hard times, we are not alone. We do NOT stand alone. When we go through the hard times the first thing we want to do is step back. To take a break. Our dreams ought to be doing something, they ought to be working. Working dreams create the impossible, non-working dreams simply fade when you wake. I don’t want the destiny God has for me to vanish when I wake up. With work, dreams can come to pass. We can’t merely have a vision, we have to know where we are or we’ll never get to where we envision. We will not discover where we are if we have one perspective. A white, a black, a red, a yellow perspective. We must look from a Godly perspective. We live in a pagan world, any pagan perspective we bring to our starting point is already leading us the wrong way. You are first and foremost a child of God; we are held to a higher standard. In many ways the body of Christ is divided. We ha...
