What are you thinking?...

Dear Brethren,

What I feared has come upon me... Job 3:25

I read an interesting story of a man called 'Nick'. Nick was a tough guy with a bad outlook. He worked on the railways. One night after all his fellow workers had gone home he accidentally locked himself in a refrigerated carriage. Worried that the temperature was below freezing, he yelled for help, but to no avail. The more he thought about his situation the colder he felt, until eventually he started shivering uncontrollably. Convinced he was dying, he wrote a letter to his family outlining what had happened. The next morning they found Nick's body. An autopsy revealed that he had indeed frozen to death. But the investigators discovered something puzzling. The carriage in which Nick was trapped was out of order and had been disconnected. The night he froze to death the temperature in the boxcar was 16.1 degrees, just below room temperature. But because he expected to die, he lost the battle in his mind.

What we believe about our life is more important than what anyone else believes. Job said, 'What I feared has come upon me.'

We need to be wise and careful about what we anticipate; negative expectations become self-fulfilling prophecies.

God has promised to help us, but we get the deciding vote. By focusing on the negative we start to agree to let satan defeat us. Jesus said, '..."According to your faith will it be done for you"' (Matthew 9:29 NIV). Another translation puts it like this: '..."Become what you believe"...' (TM).

So let's get into agreement with God's Word and focus on His promises instead of our problems. When we do this, our faith will take us to new levels of victory. But it's up to us to take the first step! Let's ensure that we take a step in the right direction.

We have a special guest speaker this week. His name is Pastor Ebenezer John. His website is Ebenezerjohn.com ... check it out

He will be ministering to us this Friday through Worship and the Word of God. Come expecting great things from God and I am sure that HE will not disappoint us.

Bring all your friends and colleagues along too...and they too will be blessed.

Agape
