Two choices for the week

We have two choices this week. 

Choice 1: We can dwell in fear over the enormity of our situations, the sheer volume of our challenges, the large hoards and arsenals of those opposing us, and our own inadequacies.

Choice 2: We can look at the infinite possibilities of faith, the supernatural power of grace, the unceasing gifts of favor, the uncountable riches we have from heaven, and focus on the unmatched power and unlimited strength we have in Christ Jesus.

May we make the wise choice of standing in faith, hoping in Christ and believing that God can and will do the impossible so that this week will be indescribably, mind bogglingly beautiful! 

Love you—Cassius 

Don’t let time make you forget

The simple truth is that over time, a lot of us tend to forgot just how amazing God is, especially when we have achieved some level of success. We let polls, popular opinions, and godless other voices cause us to forget the grace, mercy and goodness of God. 

We fail to recall that it was God who turned our obstacles to dust, put our worries to the wind, defeated our enemies and lifted us up to heights of success. We forget how He healed our bodies, dried our tears, and performed signs and wonders that were too good for words. We let it slip our minds of all the times when God fed us when we were hungry, clothed us when we were naked, comforted us when we cried, saved us when we were desperate, forgave us when we sinned, and lifted us up when we fell. 

We need to remember who it was who actually opened the doors, broke the chains, defeated the giants, and gave us victories that we couldn't have earned on our own. 

May we never let our present or future prosperity cause us to forget that He is sovereign and the source of our every blessing, success and salvation! Minus Him even our best will fall short.

Blessings and breakthrough—What do they look like

Sometimes “blessings” look like closed doors, delayed dreams, disrupted plans, and answers to prayers that are “not” what we expected. Sometimes “breakthroughs” look less like magic and more like hard work, sweat stained clothes, dirty and calloused hands, and long nights of faithful waiting-in the valleys- for the victorious move of God!  

May we have eyes to see, ears to hear, minds to understand, faith to trust and a heart that is open to all the many possible shapes, forms and timing of our blessings and breakthroughs!  Trust and believe, God will do just as He has planned and promised!
