God’s Vision for You and the World

 When dealing with OUR ISSUES and PROBLEMS it is important to keep the following in mind:

– It is very helpful but it does not always rectify our issues or problems when we only try to understand the causes and the answers for our ISSUES and PROBLEMS, whatever they may be e.g. our personal psychological, marriage, family, financial, work or community (political and economic).

– But what is definitely helpful and will rectify our issues and problems is when:

    1. we DO put on the light and not merely fight the darkness and treat the cause and not merely treat the symptoms

    1. we DO prevention which is better the cure

    1. we DO rely on God and His power (what seems to us to be impossible is for God Him-possible)

    1. we DO strategically and practically realise God’s H.O.P.E dream for our lives, families and communities ..“as it is in heaven” 

    1. we DO spend time on our personal relationship with Him and and our relationships with one another

    1. we DO realign where we stand (in our thinking, plans and feelings) in relation to where God stands (in His thinking, plans and feelings)

    1. we DO invite and allow God to be our God and to do a ‘transplant” on our minds and on our hearts so that we can be REBORN and be RENEWED in our thinking, in our feelings and ultimately in our speaking and doing
Focusing and understanding the above:
    • will enable us to be more than conquerors and empower us to move all the mountains of our “issues and problems”

    • will make a world of difference in this beautiful world God has created and given to us to enjoy
The Promise of the New Beginning, New Thinking & New Feeling. Heb 8:10 paraphrased

For this is the covenant that I will make with you …… after those days, says the Lord: I will put My laws in your minds and write them on your hearts; and I will be your God, and you shall be My people.

 

The New Birth  John 3:1-5

1 There was a man of the Pharisees named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews. 2 This man came to Jesus (the Super Star of History) by night and said to Him, “Rabbi, we know that You are a teacher come from God; for no one can do these signs that You do unless God is with him.”

 

3 Jesus answered and said to him, “Most assuredly, I say to you, unless one is born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.”

4 Nicodemus said to Him, “How can a man be born when he is old? Can he enter a second time into his mother’s womb and be born?”

5 Jesus answered, “Most assuredly, I say to you, unless one is born of water and the Spirit, he cannot enter the kingdom of God. 6 That which is born of the flesh is flesh, and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit. 7 Do not marvel that I said to you, ‘You must be born again.’ 8 The wind blows where it wishes, and you hear the sound of it, but cannot tell where it comes from and where it goes. So is everyone who is born of the Spirit.”

It is our choice to come or return to Him LIKE THE PRODIGAL SON and to allow Him to help us:

– to repentant of our sins (ignoring and distrusting Him
– to receive His love, forgiveness, blessing and life by inviting Jesus and the Holy spirit to help us realign our thoughts and minds with the thoughts and heart of Father God

– to grow up, stand up, walk, run and fly free;

– to be at peace in His presence

a. not as infants crying for attention or handouts of food or goods, but as mature adults who stand on their own feet to work and play in God’s beautiful world with all it’s opportunities to feed one-self, to take care of one-self and to enjoy life more abundantly. God will bless us as we do so.

b. not as people clamouring for human rights, but as people embracing our God-given responsibility and opportunities to protect and provide for ourselves and our families.

c. not as people fighting one another across cultural, political, financial or religious groupings, but as people as people taking hands across the groupings to implement God approved mutually beneficial projects governed or managed by men (male and female)  of proven character, capacity and comprehension or understanding of the big picture.

d. not as people striking for better pay and working conditions, but people standing up for mutually beneficial projects, just money and just leadership by men and women of proven character, capacity and comprehension.

Please let us know about
– your decision to repentant and accept God’s gift of His Son

– the God approved mutually beneficial project/s you are involved with and

– the contact details of the men and women who have the character, capacity and
comprehension to make it a success to govern or manage the projects in your
community that will be the answer for the issues and problems facing your community at present.
