DAY 5: It is Well with my Soul

Over the past four days we’ve taken a brief journey of discovery into how to live with an overwhelming sense of peace and confidence in the future in an otherwise turbulent world. Living from your spirit means living in continual communion with God’s Spirit, enabling you to receive from Him, and assimilate Him into your whole being: spirit, soul and body.

DAY 4: Living by the Gospel

How is your soul amidst life’s uncertainties? In challenging times, many people become unhinged emotionally or feel helpless against their circumstances. This can cause instability and a drift from the foundations of your life. In a world of bad news, everyone needs good news! Gospel means good news.

DAY 3: Living by God’s Word

The inherent connection between your spirit, soul, and body, means what affects one, affects the other – both positively and negatively. To have a soul that is at peace begins with attending to spiritual matters. The Word of God is an integral part of the wellbeing of your soul.

DAY 2: Living from your spirit

What does it mean to ‘live from your spirit’? Yesterday we looked at how we are a three part being: spirit, soul and body. With our body and our soul (mind, will and emotions) we can worship and cry out to God, but it is through our spirit that we commune with and receive Him. Think about that for a moment. When you communicate with God through your spirit you can hear Him; in fact, that is why you exist!

DAY 1: Spirit, Soul and Body

God made you unique, with your own unique combination of talents, feelings, thoughts, attitudes, circumstances… and the list goes on and on. You are not like anyone else. You may have similar interests or abilities to others, but you have your own unique story. And while this is true, as human beings, God created us all the same, and we are all intricately made.

10 Entrapments of Maturity

Longevity and maturity aren’t necessarily the same thing – just because you’ve been around for a long time doesn’t necessarily mean you are mature. Spiritual maturity cannot simply be measured by time and age. We are all personally responsible for how we mature, and in order to become a person who is both seasoned and happy irrespective of age, we must steer clear of the following entrapments...

Isolating or Isoleading?

Leadership is multifaceted and dynamic; it's both a gift and a responsibility. This pandemic season is the first time in our church history where, in various locations, we cannot gather in person.

That Suspended Space Called “WHEN”

Living in the space of when is living in the face of uncertainty. COVID-19 reminded us that we live in a temporal world; and as such, it consists of multiple uncertainties. Outside of Christ, there are few guarantees or real solid answers in life. God’s promise is for great strength. He does not grow faint or weary and He gives power to those that do.

Pressured But Not Stressed

If you’re facing pressure, don’t be discouraged! Just as God delivered Paul, we can rest in the assurance that He HAS delivered us, He WILL deliver us, and He will CONTINUE to deliver us. Here are three things that pressure will put to the test:

DAY 5: The Rewards of Wisdom

Do you think that scriptural ‘sufficiency’ means simply having enough to manage by God’s grace? Paul makes it clear that this sufficiency is God’s favour and blessing by His grace, so that no matter what, we won’t require help or support;

DAY 4: Wisdom At The Crossroads

Never underestimate the need for wisdom at each crossroad in your life. Remember, the Bible says that wisdom will ‘build the house’. Those who love wisdom, will be loved by wisdom in return.

DAY 3: Good Judgment

Think about the part godly wisdom, or the lack of it, has played in your life so far. How has this affected your financial decisions? Your relationships? Your career and achievements?

DAY 2: The Wisdom of Obedience

If we want to live with God’s blessing, we need His wisdom to teach us the difference between obedience and disobedience – what pleases God and what displeases Him.

DAY 1: First Things First

God’s Word teaches wisdom Is the number one thing we should pursue in life - not human wisdom, but the wisdom that comes from God. So how do we get God’s wisdom? How can we know the difference between His wisdom and natural wisdom? And why is wisdom so important anyway?

Wisdom Makes a Way

Wisdom is the number one thing we should pursue in life - the PRINCIPAL thing! Not human wisdom, which is a product of our own understanding and experience, but the wisdom that comes from God.

Behold

Are you ready for God to a do new thing in your life? Are you ready to behold His power, love and grace in your life?

Day 7: Capacity for Risk

Your leadership capacity is dependent upon your “risk quotient”. It has often been said that FAITH is spelled R-I-S-K.

Day 6: Let go of worry

When David was a captive of the Philistines in Gath, he wrote, “When I am afraid, I put my trust in You.” (Ps 56:3)

Day 5: Lighten your Load

As your life moves forward and your capacity increases, you can’t continue to do more unless there are other areas where you are doing less.

Day 4: Bringing Balance into Your Life

This is important advice. Living a balanced life will guard you against the enemy’s hidden traps. So, rather than looking for excuses for unhelpful behaviour, look for remedies and answers.

Day 3: Wins and Losses

Everyone feels good when they win at something. Winning will develop your confidence that God’s hand is upon you and encourage momentum in your life.

Day 2: Stress vs Distress

More and more young people struggle with stress in the early stages of their life. Unfortunately, when we are ruled by stress, it limits our ability to move forward. But you don’t have to live that way; you can develop the capacity to manage and use stress for your advantage.

Day 1: Enlarge Your Capacity

Within each of us is an enormous capacity to fulfil our God-given call. To see our dreams fulfilled and to continue having influence in God’s Kingdom, our capacity must increase.
