Making a good thing out a Bad situation

Teaching by : Pastor L Maddix on 8/12/2013
Scripture: Acts:16:16-26

The human mind and spirit have been designed to think and to do. God designed the body to fight or to flight when it comes under attack.

A lot of us need to take advice and listen to wiser people. At the same time, people in higher authority such as parents need to prepare their children from young. Train them up. Teach your children respect, honour and life lessons like how to look after themselves and the house because one day they WILL grow up and need to deal with life difficulties. Equipt your children so that they can deal with those difficulties better.

Many people don't like to face their issues. For example then all the bills seem to be coming in you cant hide them in your drawers because the truth is that bill will still need to be paid and by hiding, chances are the issue will escalate and become worse. Don't hide your problems, Deal with them.

The truth is, Gifts are great and we all have some sort of gift but we need Character. Respect, and Honour for example are very admirable characteristics. You can have a Gifted fool.

What you think and what the people around you think is important. Don't be a negative thinking and  complaining person. Don't hang around people who complain and are always negative because some people are assigned to suck you out with their sinking thinking. Be aware because these people are not assets but are Liabilities.

On YOU have the ability to change. You can change just by changing how you think. You can just rely on fasting and prayer for EVERYTHING you also need to DO the word.

If you THINK poor, you will always BE poor. If you THINK you are unattractive you will BEhave like an unattractive person. If you wake up and THINK that it is or will be a horrible day you will have a horrible day.

"Our Lives is what our thoughts make it."-Marcus Aurelious

We need a Cause. People without a cause or a purpose stay average, normal and mediocre. Look at the life of Nelson Mandela, Walk Disney, Steve Jobs and many other great people. We are each individually designed by God for a specific cause. Not everyones cause is the same. 

Malcom X said "If you dont stand for something, you will fall for anything." 

Looking back at Mandela, the more they tried to break him and his spirit the more his dream and spirit grew. As you become a Christian you become a life changer. When you come to Christ you have to throw away everything you have ever known. 

The manufacturer always knows better than the product. God is our Manufacturer and we are his product. He knew us before we were formed in our Mums womb. (Jer29:11) God will never grace you with something that you cant Handle. Its all in your Mind. We can't be jealous of the person who has more because they probably have the ability to handle a certain something better than we do. Its time to start making a good thing out of every Bad situation. This is the season for Status Change. Be inspired :)
