Rhapsody of Realities - Think Fresh; Think Success! - 16/06/2015

Pastor Chris

Never lag in zeal and in earnest endeavor; be aglow and burning with the Spirit, serving the Lord (Romans 12:11 AMP).

Part of the reason young people can be very successful, where older people fail, is that many young people don't know enough to be afraid. Most older people know too much; they have too much information about what doesn't work. They remember when they tried something and it failed, and so they become cynical. It's a lot harder to inspire such people to make a fresh move or have a fresh start.

Understand that being old in this context isn't so much about a person's age, but about the state of his mind. Your body might age, but refuse to age in your mind. Think fresh; think success. God loves to use young people, because they think fresh all the time; they easily believe, and are always passionate about learning something new.

It's never too late to learn and be inspired by a dream of success. Even if you're already grey-headed and advanced in years, God can still use you. Moses was one hundred and twenty years old when he died, and at that age, he was still strong and vibrant. The Bible says, "...His eyesight was sharp; he still walked with a spring in his steps" (Deuteronomy 34:7 MSG).

What will you be like when you're ninety-two? I can tell, if you put this message to work: You won't be crying that nothing works. Instead, you'll be the one teaching and imparting faith to the younger generation. You'll be changing lives with the Gospel, speaking in tongues, prophesying, and speaking words of faith by the power of the Holy Spirit!

PRAYER

Dear Father, I thank you for stirring my heart with your Word to gain the right inspiration! My mind is anointed to see and accept possibilities. I'm energized and aglow in my spirit to impact the world of my time, through supernatural ideas inspired in me by your Spirit, in Jesus' Name. Amen.

Psalms 103:5 Who satisfieth thy mouth with good things; so that thy youth is renewed like the eagle's. ;

Joshua 14:10-11 And now, behold, the Lord hath kept me alive, as he said, these forty and five years, even since the Lord spake this word unto Moses, while the children of Israel wandered in the wilderness: and now, lo, I am this day fourscore and five years old. 11 As yet I am as strong this day as I was in the day that Moses sent me: as my strength was then, even so is my strength now, for war, both to go out, and to come in.

EXTRACT FROM: Rhapsody of Realities

Personal Note: I have always known in my spirit that life is meant to be lived in joy, peace and love. To express your soul's passion, to be alive with excitement and fun, and to respect and be grateful for what life has to offer. When I started learning about the Word of God at the beginning of this year, with the Christ Embassy Church, I was blessed all the more for it. It confirmed that what I always had in me, was indeed the voice of God. - Haarsha Balraj
