Don't Keep Score

Forgiv as quickly n completely as d Master 4gav u - Col 3 : 13

Keeping score only works in competitive sports;it's disastrous in relationships...

4getting is harder when d offence is GREAT. Small offences can be 4given quickly; big ones require a healing process. But until u make d decision 2 4giv, d process cant even begin.

HOW ?

"Clothe urself wth tender hearted mercy, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience. Make allowance 4each other's faults.

Remember, d Lord 4gav u so u must 4giv others" (Col 3 : 12, 13)

To practise dis kind of 4giveness, u must focus on a person's worth, nt their weaknesses. U must turn ur heart away frm wat was, to wat can b.

U say, "Why shld i 4giv and 4get?"

1) Because God's Word tells u to

2) Because u urslf wil continue 2nid 4giveness

3) Because u werent built 2carry d stress dat goes wth resentment.

Don't Keep Score

Wat's Choking U ?

If ur significance as a person or ur sense of security is tied 2 anythng othr than ur relationship wth God, worry wil choke d life right of u.

True happiness lies in trusting God 4wat u nid,knwing if it's right He'll provide it, and
if nt He'll giv u smething BETTER !

Wat's Choking U ?

Responding to GOD

Simply means deciding wat ur response wil b,b4 d offence

comes !

Dis requires more than church-on-Sunday religion. It calls 4 a Christ-like.

Ur 'rights' and ur wounded ego r nt d issue - the One u represent is !

Mastering Yourself

When it comes 2replacing bad habits wth good news, only 1 person is going 2make it happen....

YOU.

Ur character is d sum total of ur everyday choices. Day by day, wat u think, wat u choose n

wat u do, is who u BECOME!

Healing Wounded Relationships

When u violate ur partner's trust, u send ur 'relationship account' in2 deficit!

Xpecting them 2b their old self is like asking a legless man 2hurry up n walk !

It's not going 2happen.

wat can u do 2help?

The same thing u do when u hav a deficit in ur bank acct. :

1) Stop making withdrawals !

2) Start making deposits ! Make them small and often. Consistent deposits can

eventually cancel the deficit,removing d relationship in2 surplus!

Quietly find ways 2 make ur partner's lfe easier; small courtesies, thoughtful deeds,

little considerations dat serve and salve. dis are d things dat invite r partner 2feel

like it's safe to push 'defrost' , start taking small risks, reconnect, and test the water

again !

If u wan a healthy relationship there r no shortcuts.

Reinforce each other's efforts bcoz it's a principle dat works.

The Power Of Passion

Passion energises u !

A passionate person wt limited ability will outperform a passive person wt great ability.

Because,passionate ppl act wt boundless enthusiasm !

Passion ovrcomes fear. Wat makes ppl take risks,go d xtra mile n do watever it takes 2achieve their goals? PASSION.

As long as d passion is there,it doesnt matter how often they fail,or if others r against them.

They dont stop until they succeed.

Passion drives u until u find wat u 're looking 4..............................................

The keys 2a successful life r knowing who u r (ur calling),n wat u're supposed 2do(ur destiny).

Without dis u're like an octopus on roller-skates,lots of movement but no real direction.

Find smething u like 2do so much dat u're gladly do it 4nothing, n if u learn 2do it well, someday

ppl wil happily pay u 4it.

Death isn't d greatest loss in life. D greatest loss is wat dies inside us while we live.

If u're nt careful u could end up like d man whose tombstone read,"Died at 30, Buried at 60."

Don't let dat happen 2u. When u find ur God-given purpose, with it comes ur passion.

Wil u hav 2fan dat flame? YES, regularly !

But it wil energise u n carry u 2ur destination!

If ur priorities r nt aligned wth ur passion,start making some changes right away !

Just Remember This :

A person who is forgiven little shows only little LOVE......

Equipping People To Serve

Why did God assign leaders? 2equip ppl.

Why do ppl nid 2b equipped? 2serve.

Why is service so important? 2build up d Body of Christ.

Dat's it !

Do dat, and u'll b less frustrated, ur ppl more fulfilled, n ur

chrch more FRUITFUL !

Having A Steadfast Purpose !

U wil keep in perfect peace him whose mind is steadfast - Isaiah 26 : 3 ( NIV )

Having a steadfast purpose simplifies life.

When u dont know ur purpose, u try 2do too much, and dat causes stress n conflict.

It's impossible 2do evrything ppl wan u 2do; u hav jst enuf time 2do God's will.

A steadfast purpose makes ur lifestyle simpler n ur schedule saner. And it leads 2peace

of mind: "U wil keep in perfect peace him whose mind is steadfast"

Remember : God knows BEST......................................

Seeing Yourself As God Does

Be careful. Hard times can make u think u dont deserve 2b blessed !

Anytime u hav smethng of value, d enemy wil attack u.

God made u in His image, redeemed u, dwells in u, n dat makes u

VALUABLE !

A Word To Leaders

Personal breakthrus begin wth a change in ur blifs.

Wat u bliv deep down determines wat u expect, n wat u expect

determines how u wil act.

In d long run, a blif is more than jst an idea u possess, its an idea dat

possesses u !

Ur life wil xpand or shrink in proportion 2d measure of courage u display.

If u'r willing 2take risks u'l go further than those who timidly 4low d safe

n predictable path!

Live up 2ur resolve,work at wat God meant u 2 work at 4d perfection of

His plan, n u wil b invincible.

No power on earth can hold u back from SUCCESS !

In The Shadow

There r 3 notable things abt how God works in our lives :

1) He gets us alone n does a work in us dat cannot b accomplished any othr way

2) "He made us in2 a polished arrow....concealed...in His quiver"

Wat a wndrful place 2b, tied securely 2Him within easy reach when d moment

2use us comes.

3) "We are His servant......in whom He displays His splendour" Without speaking a word,

our life givs off an aroma.Thru our influence,others are lowered or lifted.

Do u wan 2hav IMPACT? Embrace d shadows,discover God and grow in them, then emerge

wth something 2say dat's worth listening 2 !

So, my frens, return back to the FIRST works of God : letting God to work in US !
