WHEN THINGS FALL APART

Cyclone

In this world we are faced by many situations that can result in severe stress, anxiety, fear, anger, frustration, grief, hopelessness and many other tumultuous emotions. These feelings can overwhelm us, ruin our health, and diminish our ability to move forward.

But when we trust God and seek His guidance, He helps us make our way courageously through uncharted waters. He gives us his peace; a calmness and joy that knows no understanding, so that we develop a better sense of control over our thoughts and emotions, allowing us to make good decisions and move forward.

“The cyclone derives its powers from a calm centre. So does a person.” Norman Vincent Peale.

The Word of the Lord bids us to be strong and courageous as we face the storms. “Do not be afraid or terrified because of them, for the LORD your God goes with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you." Deuteronomy 31:6

In which storm will you trust the Lord for deliverance? Seek to have a calm centre and you will acquire the power you seek.

The Five Things God Expects from You

shepherd and his flock

A shepherd

“Keep watch over yourselves and all the flock of which the Holy Spirit has made you overseers. Be shepherds of the church of God, which he bought with his own blood.” (Acts 20:28 NIV)

You were bought at a price; the blood of Jesus at the cross. Therefore you are not your own. Your duty is to serve your master. Everything you have belongs to him; your body and all possessions. There are five things the Lord expects from you.

These are to worship God in truth, love and honour; to learn the ways of God and become more like Christ; to fellowship with others, give and receive encouragement and support; to identify our gifts and talents and use them for the Lord; and to minister to others who have not been reached by the Good News. You are a shepherd for the Church of Christ; to strengthen and help it spread to the ends of the world.
