I Am Not A Wanna Be But An Original.
I'm Not A Write Off But A O e Off.
(Memory 2015)
Galatians 5:26 That means we will not compare ourselves with each other as if one of us were better and another worse. We have far more interesting things to do with our lives. Each of us is an original.
People are funny. Always wanting to put each other down or other churches down. When you are secure in Christ you can lift each other up. It's not a competition. We are on the same team.
I have faced many criticisms, but you know I pray a blessing on people and fellowships. I really do.
I have no desire to bring others down or compare myself. I am responsible for me and what God has called me to do.
It's ok to be different. God loves different. I love what I am doing.
At Radical we are not a Franchise, the only wannabe is that we want to be more like Jesus.
I have no blueprint for church, but the book of Acts.
This is all new to me. And I absolutely love the adventure.
I am doing what God has called me to do and it's like a coat that fits.
Don't be a copy.Your an Original.
What has God called you to do?
There is no one like you; so do it. Break the mould, and break the mold; live out the purpose of God and enjoy it.
It will be like a coat that was tailor made for you. It fits.
Prayer:
Father forgive me for criticising other people and other churches. Forgive me for comparing myself to others. Thank You that I am a one off. Thank You for the plans You have for me, help me to be more like Jesus help me to be who You want me to be. In Jesus' Name Amen.
