“Isn't it interesting that in Acts 11, at the end of verse 26, it says, "The disciples were called Christians first at Antioch." What I find interesting is the simple thought that the Christians didn't name themselves. But rather, they were called (or named) "Christians" by those watching their lives. I wonder if it would be the same today. Could someone look at your life or look at my life and name me a Christian? A humbling thought for sure.”

True Indeed, Christlikeness is a life style. Not just an ordinary word or just because we go to the church.
It seen in everyones life.

Lots of people live with discouragement; they go about their daily lives and don’t venture beyond that. We can’t let ourselves become religious. When there is no action, the passion dries up.

Paul said that we can not allow the Spirit to go out. We must never lose our momentum.

New birth is linked with passion. If we have really been born again there must be a passion for God inside of us that gives us compassion for souls and for serving God wherever we might be.

Moses was one of the greatest leaders in history. God had a defined purpose to accomplish through him, which was the deliverance of His people. This implied a deep and arduous work in his character with the aim of getting him ready to realising the mission which he would later entrust him; it took the Lord forty years to mould him.

Then He revealed His purpose to him as he said: “I have indeed seen the misery of my people in Egypt” (Exodus 3:7a). Moses had lived so many internal struggles in the past that it seemed incredible to him to be an instrument in divine hands to do mighty things. For this reason, he sought to evade that responsibility presenting his own excuse: “Who am I that I should go to Pharaoh and bring the Israelites out of Egypt?” (Exodus 3:11). Faced with God’s calling, doubt is our first reaction.

  Every battle has to have its own strategy for victory. Every warrior should posses an unparalleled skill, a brave heart and a strong armor for triumph . In the battle of life we also need an armor and that is an armor of FAITH. Different as how the world views it we don't fight with physical weapons in our hands, Our battle is unseen an intangible battle in the spiritual realm.  Our enemy are not people but the killer of our passion for God, destroyer of our god-given dreams ,clouding our crystal clear vision -Satan. Furthermore , since our battle is not seen it requires FAITH! God says in every battle we will need faith as our shield to stop the fiery arrows aimed by Satan to destroy us. When the going gets tough we need faith . When what our eyes can see now seems to be the opposite of what God has promised us we need faith. When you started walking in the water with the Lord and you saw yourself began to sink we need faith. When the crowd says that's impossible your dream is too big! you need to wake up and have FAITH! When people say what you are about to do is foolish,yet God says Just do it! you need to have FAITH. Everyday the enemy finds a perfect time to pull you down and take away your faith in God. He will  not be a friendly "peter pan " trying to hit you with his arrows  of love, peace and joy but it will be  arrows of discouragement ,doubts and emotional wounds. He will be very savvy wanting every opportunity to lose your FAITH in God  cause He ultimately knows that God can do great things for you and through you when you have FAITH. You need to have faith that God is able to keep you strong and will give you victory over the enemy. FAITH that all of Gods word will certainly come true at the proper time. Faith to trust God enough that we can still demonstrate his holiness and become his ambassadors of righteousness when the world says you cant .  God operates in the language of FAITH! and when you have faith in the Lord, rest assured we have the victory! The battle is always good when you have FAITH! =)

1.  Spend most of your day sending and receiving email, rather than actually accomplishing something.
2.  The tallest blade of grass is the first to get cut, so whatever you do, don’t stand out.
3.  Get that bass boat you’ve been dreaming about rather than investing in yourself and your future.
4.  Don’t travel.  It’s too expensive, too much trouble, and very risky these days.
5.  Don’t learn another language.  Besides, everyone is going to speak English sooner or later.
6.  Forget religious faith.  All that “mystery” is for the birds.  Believe in only what you can prove.
7.  Follow all the rules.  Why take a chance?
8.  Stop taking responsibility for your life.  After all, that’s what the government is for.
9.  Stop reading.  It’s a lot of trouble, books are expensive, and nobody’s doing it anymore anyway. 1
0.  Have great ideas, but don’t follow through on any.

Dare to Dream! “Until the time came to fulfill his dreams, the LORD tested Joseph's character” (Psalm 105:19)


What is your dream life? When you close your eyes and think about the life that would bring you the most peace and deep joy, what do you see? Take a minute right now. Close your eyes, breathe deeply, and ask God to show you His dreams for you. What did you see? Anything? Don’t worry if you don’t know your dreams yet; God will show them to you with time. He says, “Ask me and I will tell you remarkable secrets you do not know about things to come” (Jeremiah 33:3). But if you DO know your dreams, what is the key to fulfilling your dream life?

You know, MANY people in the Bible had to wait for their dream. Abraham waited decades to have a baby; Moses had to endure Pharoah’s intimidation and 10 plagues until God’s people were released; and David had to run for years in the wilderness until he was made king. These are just a few examples! But the greatest wait in the Bible was for Jesus, the Messiah. God promised Him thousands of years in advance, and only a few were still waiting for Him when He finally came.

One of them was Simeon. “At that time there was a man in Jerusalem named Simeon. He was righteous and devout and was eagerly waiting for the Messiah to come and rescue Israel. The Holy Spirit was upon him and had revealed to him that he would not die until he had seen the Lord’s Messiah. That day the Spirit led him to the Temple. So when Mary and Joseph came to present the baby Jesus to the Lord as the law required, Simeon was there. He took the child in his arms and praised God, saying, ‘Sovereign Lord, now let your servant die in peace, as you have promised. I have seen your salvation, which you have prepared for all people. He is a light to reveal God to the nations, and He is the glory of your people Israel!’” (Luke 2:25-32).

Simeon WAITED for his promise, and that’s the KEY for you too. Waiting isn’t glamorous. In fact, it’s really hard. But it’s the key to obtaining your promise from God. Maybe He has promised you healing, maybe a great marriage, or maybe your kids serving the Lord. Whatever it is, it’s going to take patience. That’s just the way God is. He uses the waiting period to make us better, to make us ready for the promise. “Until the time came to fulfill his dreams, the LORD tested Joseph's character” (Psalm 105:19).  Dare to dream! =)
