May Motivation
Posted: May 5, 2011 Filed under: Uncategorized Leave a comment »I love reading about the Apostle Paul. He is a huge hero of mine. One of my favourite verses that I read in the bible from him is…
Philippians 3:12-14 12 Not that I have already obtained all this, or have already been made perfect, but I press on to take hold of that for which Christ Jesus took hold of me. 13 Brothers, I do not consider myself yet to have taken hold of it. But one thing I do: Forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead, 14 I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus.
I cannot help but get enthused and motivated when reading this. Paul talks of pressing on, straining towards and moving ahead. Going backwards is not an option for Paul.
As we move away from the Easter and Bank Holiday season we are now moving into an important season for Outreach Church. May and June are two pivotal months where we want to press on, move forwards and progress. In fact I am operating with a belief that these months are going to be our best months yet; they are going to be record breaking months. In both May and June we have two what I have called ‘stake in the ground days’. Both 100 Sunday and Miracle Offering 2011 are days of pressing on.
In our nation they say that church does not grow quickly. The average size church is no more than 70 people and the media states that ‘the church’ is in decline. Sunday 22nd May we put a stake in the ground and show that church can grow quick. We will show that a church can grow from 40 or so people to in excess of 100 people in just 8 months.
In our nation you turn on your television screens and you hear about the recession and we read constantly about poverty and redundancies. Sunday 12th June we put a stake in ground and we will receive a mind blowing miracle offering towards the vision of Outreach Church that shows God is bigger than any recession.
We have decided that May and June are press on months. It’s full steam ahead, it’s no looking back and progression is the only item on our agenda.
Let me motivate you today just like the Apostle Paul did with me; get ready for two incredible months. Don’t miss out, jump on board, be in church, bring your world and you just see what God does.
See you Sunday.
