The Central Moment

Throwing our left-overs at God ultimately has consequences -- both for his glory and our thriving. Let’s not rob him of our best and end up with less than what we started with.

It takes work to keep first things first. Priorities are worth fighting for -- especially God’s priorities. Yet God’s Spirit takes over when Jesus is put first.

Jesus often referred to himself as ‘the son of man’ even though he was the Son of God. The Old Testament prophet Daniel is our reference point for understanding this.

Can dead bones live? Can ruined places be restored? Can our hungry hearts be filled? May God’s Spirit breathe on us again!

What do we do when we realize that God loves people that we may not particularly like? Those are the times when our prejudices must die and God’s love must find root in our hearts again.

Just like a diamond sparkles most brilliantly against a darkened background, God’s brightest promises sometimes come at the most unlikely and undeserving times in our lives. “For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord.

God would want to raise up a generation of prophetic destiny to lead the church into its potential. Like Josiah, a generation that is not crippled by cynicism but hungry for God and courageous for his purposes in the earth.

We all know that it is easier to start well than it is to finish well. But what about God’s capacity to help us end well when we have not started well?

If there was ever a ‘formula for success,’ Hezekiah found it and lived it. Whether in business, family life, ministry or career building, these two keys are indispensable.

Prayer and praise are a potent combination in our lives. God responds, demonic powers flee and the Lord takes our battles into his own hands.
