Pastors George and Leah Odero are the lead pastors of Forward Church Kenya. FCK currently has 2 locations; Ongata Rongai (near Nairobi) and Obanda, which is in Southwest Kenya.

Pastor Clint and Pastor George connected during one of Clint’s mission trips to Kenya and a relationship grew over a few years. There’s a longer story about the origin of Forward Church Kenya in 2014, but we’ll just say for now both pastors heard God and now much fruit is occurring as a result of this relationship.

George is well established in the Gospel of Jesus Christ. He is a dynamic communicator who is pastoring a local church as well as training other pastors in the Gospel. Forward Church also supports FCK’s mission trips to East Pokot to the unreached villagers on Mt. Paka.

We don’t realize it but we make many of our decisions out of fear, especially men. We don’t necessarily feel afraid, we’re now sitting in the corner balled up biting our nails, we don’t have chills running down our spine, but we have let fear constrict our willingness to stand on God’s promises because of fear associated with responsibility.

Responsibility, that’s mostly a good thing but it can cause us to limit our interaction with God. This, of course, applies to women but I feel it on my heart to talk to men this week.

Understanding how your heart is involved in sowing the Word of God in your life.

May you turn your heart towards the Father in all circumstances and experience the peace of Christ rising from within as you commune with Him. May you lay down who you used to be and put on who you are now in Jesus, the righteousness of God in Christ. May you receive the wisdom that God is freely giving you and access His divine influence in your heart to apply it in your life. May you invite that influence into your everyday life and become shaped by Him by planting His word in your heart. May you be still and know that He is God. May you THRIVE + PROSPER!

“Within ten days George Washington Carver had “discovered” more than 300 uses for the peanut. One trip to that special place in the woods to talk with God not only enhanced race relations at the time but also fundamentally changed the agricultural industry as we know it today. All because he listened to and felt the spirit of God in his life.” (Andy Andrews)

God’s response made sense to Carver because this was his field, God met him where he was. God expanded his understanding of an area Carver was already familiar with. Like Moses who used the staff that was already in his hands and like the widow who approached Elisha, the oil she already had was multiplied, God expanded something Carver was already involved with.

This is a lesson for us, we often wait for God to do a “new thing” in our lives when he’s actually seeking to increase and expand that which he’s already placed in us.

All things are possible for those who believe. You don’t believe with your brain, you believe with your hearts (Romans 10:10). Your heart or inner man is paramount in experiencing God in this life. God wants you to increase the capacity of your heart to trust him so he can move through you in greater ways and see his will come to pass. The more confident you are in his character and his word, the more you are able to allow him to do through you. And what he wants to do is increase and enrich you in every way so you can be generous in every way.

God wants you to personally thrive and prosper so you enjoy the benefits of being his child and so you can be a blessing to others. God wants the organized church to thrive and prosper so it can effectively meet the needs of the Lord’s people as well as spread the Gospel. This means we need to talk about money.

You can trust your decisions and walk in confidence. You don’t have to second guess everything or stress yourself out if you’re walking in the will of God. God is not withholding wisdom and instruction from you, he freely gives them to all who will listen. What it does it take to have your ear tuned to his voice? What does it take for your heart to be receptive to his leading? Walking upright, with integrity, being a loyal and dependable person.

These character traits do not earn the favor of God, they create the right environment inwardly to hear God. God speaks in the frequency of purity, righteousness, uprightness and so on, you will hear him and follow him effortlessly when your inner world matches the frequency of his voice.

We must guard our hearts against lies, no matter how irrational the fear may seem. We must take great precaution to protect our minds and hearts against the things that can plant seeds of death in our hearts. AND we must be intentional to plant the kinds of seeds that will protect us and guard our hearts. We must plant seeds from God’s Word that resonate His truth throughout our entire being.
