ANTISOCIAL BY FAITH.

THE RISK OF BECOMING ANTISOCIAL BY FAITH:

Beloved brethren, Christianity is a beautiful call to be different: to live a life set apart by faith, character, and lifestyle. 

But sometimes, this beautiful distinction can unknowingly lead us down a lonely path of antisocial tendencies. 

We might start to feel that we are not meant to mingle, associate, or work alongside the "world" around us.

However, our faith is not a license for isolation: it is a commission for engagement. 

We are called to be the salt of the earth. 

Salt cannot change the flavour of a meal by staying in the shaker: it must be sprinkled and mixed in to be effective. 

Likewise, we are called to be the light of the world. 

To let our actions and our lifestyle shine like light among those around us, not from a distance, but in their midst.

Our purpose is not to condemn the world but to influence it positively. 

We are meant to be living examples among them.

If we entertain or develop antisocial behavior, we will never fulfill this crucial mandate. 

Our faith should never be an excuse for withdrawing from the very people we are called to love and serve.

Jesus speaking to us in Matthew 5:16 (KJV) says: 

"Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven." 

Our good works are meant to be seen and experienced by others, to draw them closer to God.

Keeping a distance from the world in the name of our faith is not godly. It is antisocial and antichrist.

Reaching the world with our fliers and our invitation to church: while avoiding them when they need us, is antisocial and antichrist.

Let us lead the world with love and connection, not with isolation.

Surprisingly, we also need the "world" around us: 

they have the land, the halls, the houses, the money, the network and the souls we are called to harvest.

I personally regret the years I thought I was so "Word Loaded" to mingle with the "World".

BETWEEN PRAYER AND PROMISE: THERE IS PATIENCE AND PERSEVERANCE.

BETWEEN PRAYER n PROMISE: 

THERE IS PATIENCE n PERSEVERANCE. 

Beloved brethren, we often find ourselves in the space between prayer and the promise.

A space where nothing seems to be happening. 

After pouring our heart to God, after locating His will in the Scriptures, and after making Holy Spirit inspired declarations, what do we do before the arrival of our promise?

That sacred and sometimes scaring space. That space between prayer and promise. 

That space is for Patience and Perseverance. 

Patience reminds us that God's timing is not our own. He works on a divine calendar, and His plans are perfect, even when they seem delayed. 

Perseverance is the quiet strength that keeps us moving forward, step by step, even when the path is long and the journey is challenging.

If you are waiting for a promise to unfold, remember that the Lord is with you in the waiting. 

He is strengthening your spirit and building your faith. 

Don't lose heart, for the seed of your prayer is already planted.

Isaiah 40:30 KJV, says:

"But they that wait upon the LORD shall renew their strength; 

they shall mount up with wings as eagles; 

they shall run, and not be weary;

and they shall walk, and not faint."

Keep praying, keep believing, and keep walking in faith.

Be patient and endure the waiting. 

The promise is on its way. It will not fail.

JEZEBEL: THE OTHER SIDE PEOPLE WANT TO IGNORE

JEZEBEL: THE OTHER SIDE PEOPLE WANT TO IGNORE. 

Beloved brethren, many times when we hear the name Jezebel, the wife of King Ahab, we only think of wickedness, idolatry, and manipulation. 

But like every person, Jezebel also had another side that is often forgotten. 

She was a woman of strength, courage, and boldness. 

She stood firm for what she believed in and never wavered, even in the face of opposition. 

She was a passionate protector of her husband, her family, her religion and her people.

A woman who knew how to use her position, her influence and her resources to offer leadership.

Even today, women who know how to utilise their wisdom, their exposure, their capabilities are normally labelled "Jezebel".

Any woman who may appear slightly stronger than men is quickly labelled "Jezebel".

Even in this generation, a woman who appears to know her rights and is ready to defend them, is labelled a Jezebel. 

It is important to know that every person has both weaknesses and strengths: Bad side and good side.

Let us learn to see both sides of people’s stories, remembering that even those with great flaws may still hold qualities we can learn from.

While we should learn from Jezebel mistakes, we can also admire her boldness, her strength and her leadership.

Note, if people have ever called you Jezebel as a woman: it may be out of Jealousy.

Diligence Pays

DILIGENCE PAYS:

Beloved brethren, let us talk about hard work.

Proverbs 10:4 KJV, says:

"He becometh poor that dealeth with a slack hand: 

but the hand of the diligent maketh rich".

A simpler version of that verse says:

"Lazy hands make for poverty, but diligent hands bring wealth."

This proverb is a powerful reminder that hard work and dedication really do pay off. 

It is easy to desire quick results, but true success often comes from consistent effort over time. 

Quick results can be exciting but they are not sustainable.

Lasting success is a product of diligence, consistency and patience.

Work hard on your hard work: you will not regret.

Stay diligent, stay focused: it will speak at the end.

Deligence

UNLIMITED SPACE: UNLIMITED POSSIBILITIES

UNLIMITED SPACE: UNLIMITED POSSIBILITIES:

Beloved brethren, I was surprised to learn that all 8 billion people on Earth today could fit within a single square kilometer.

An area of one kilometer by one kilometer. 

Each person standing and touching the ground.

It means if God want gather together the whole world population on Migingo island, He can do it, and still have space for His angles. 

The earth has so much space for human habitation than we will ever use.

The scarcity of space is artificial: it is human made: It is not real.

This fact is a beautiful reminder that our world is so much bigger than the challenges we face.

When things feel overwhelming, remember that there is always more room to grow, more space to explore, and more potential waiting to be unlocked.

Just as the world is vast and full of empty spaces, so too our potential is unlimited. 

Let this inspire you to take a bold step today, knowing that God has enough space for you.

Trust God to help you break your artificial limitations. 

Luke 1:37 KJV:

"For with God nothing shall be impossible."

RED CAR THEORY

THE RED CAR THEORY:

Beloved brethren, have you ever noticed that when you are thinking about buying a red car, you suddenly start seeing red cars everywhere?

That is not magic: it is your mind becoming aware of what you are focusing on. 

The same is true for opportunities, blessings, and even divine connections.

Many times we miss out not because there is nothing good around us, but because we are not actively looking for it. 

Just like the red car, opportunities appear more when your eyes and heart are open to see them.

If you want to find luck, favour, or breakthrough: start looking for such with expectation and readiness. 

God often places answers right before us, but they are seen only by those who are attentive.

Be attentive: be alert: your expected miracles are not far from you.

Matthew 7:7 KJV, says.

"Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you:"

Start seeking today. Your “Red Car” might be closer than you think.

See you in your "Red Car" soon.
