Bethel City Church recently opened their 6th campus!
It took lots of hard work, perseverance and frustrated people to make it happen.
But we got there!
We saw what could be and walked into it until it was fulfilled!
Jesus did something similar with Peter when He asked him three times if he loved him!
He then asked him to complete a task! He painted the picture, gave him the objective, sorted the mission, gave him a call, whatever you want to call it;
‘Feed my sheep’
No small task, but Peter loved Jesus and desired to please Him!
I wonder how many of us are given tasks but fail to complete them? Make excuses? Do something else to fill our time.
It is as though we are highly trained in ways of making excuses, we know best!
But what if we develop a way seeing differently, searching for every opportunity to find a route to where He wants us to go, then nothing is impossible we just have to discover a way!
So what helps us to get there:
- Make
You have to do something! Vision, thoughts, ideas are all important but with no productivity there is nothing to grasp hold of! Have an unstoppable attitude! know the task and don’t stop until you’re done! Whatever it takes, Whatever the cost!
Takes the steps towards it! It wont happen on its own!
- It
Know you have the ‘it’ factor. This is something that I believe cannot be easily taught but must be something caught! The very drive that you have, the desire to see something fulfilled must be welled up within.
Jesus looked at Peter and must have seen ‘it’ within Peter! He saw the same within fishermen, tax collectors, prostitutes!
‘It’ is not an academic certificate that allows you to take part! ‘It’ is the belief that you can do what Jesus asks you to do because ‘HE’ believes in YOU!
- Happen
Happenings are made up of things that happen. Every day you make choices some consciously others automatically. Some are good habits, others are limited by our thoughts and attitudes!
You will choose to give up or carry on! happiness is limited by what happens, joy is determined by your perception of circumstances. Choose to see that God can bring Good out of every situation. That no matter what happens in your task you can learn from it!
Peter was given a task and one day would give account of his performance!
They’ll be no excuses as he stands alone before his Creator: the one who gave him a clear task.
Jesus believes in YOU!
When someone gives you a task. What will you think?
It will happen!
Now Make it happen!
