THE GREATEST MOMENT IN YOUR LIFE IS NOW

“This is the day the Lord has made; we will rejoice and be glad in it.” Psalm 118:24 NKJV

The greatest moment in your life is now. Not because it’s pleasant or happy or easy, but because it’s the only moment you’ve got. Every past moment is irretrievably gone. It’s never coming back. If you live there, you lose your life. And the future is always out there somewhere.

You can spend an eternity waiting for tomorrow or worrying about tomorrow. If you live there, you likewise will lose your life. This moment is God’s irreplaceable gift to you. Most of all, this is the moment that matters because this is the moment where God is. If you are going to be with God at all, you must be with Him now—in this moment. That is why the Psalmist says: “This is the day the Lord has made; we will rejoice and be glad in it.” That is why the prophet Jeremiah said God’s mercies never fail because “they are new every morning” (Lamentations 3:23 NKJV). That is why the apostle Paul said, “Be careful how you live…Make the most of every opportunity…Understand what the Lord wants you to do” (Ephesians 5:15-17 NLT).

Frederick Buechner wrote, “Morning, afternoon, evening—the hours of the day, of any day, of your day and my day. The alphabet of grace. If there is a God who speaks anywhere, surely he speaks here: through waking up and working, through going away and coming back again, through people you meet and books you read, through falling asleep in the dark.” All of this means one thing—the greatest moment in your life is now.

YOUR REACTION TIME MATTERS

“‘Whom shall I send, and who will go for Us?’ Then I said, ‘Here am I! Send me.’” Isaiah 6:8 NKJV

Do you remember the ten spies who doubted God’s ability to deliver on His promise and dissuaded the Israelites from entering the Promised Land? Their doubt was so offensive to God—He had already revealed His power to them through the exodus from Egypt and the parting of the Red Sea—that God executed judgment on the spot.

The very next day, the Israelites did an about-face. They changed their minds, but it was too little, too late. One day’s delay cost them forty years! They missed out on the Promised Land because their reaction time was too slow. Now that doesn’t mean you should live in fear of missing out. After all, God is the God of second chances (see Jonah 3:1). But please understand this: inaction is an action, and indecision is a decision. When you’re dealing with God, your response time is all important. Paul’s ministry began when he had a life-changing encounter with Christ on the Damascus road. Immediately he fell to his knees and cried: “Lord, what do You want me to do?” (Acts 9:6 NKJV).

In the book of Isaiah, when heaven opened and God said, “‘Whom shall I send, and who will go for Us?” immediately the prophet Isaiah said, “‘Here am I! Send me.’ And He said, ‘Go, and tell this people’” (Isaiah 6:8-9 NKJV). You don’t want to get ahead of God, and you don’t want to lag behind Him. What you want to do is seize the opportunities He gives you as quickly, as decisively, and as boldly as you possibly can. Your reaction time matters.

YOU CAN CONQUER YOUR HANG-UPS

“The weapons of our warfare are not carnal but mighty in God.” 2 Corinthians 10:4 NKJV

Today’s problem is not necessarily tomorrow’s problem. Don’t incarcerate yourself by assuming it is. Resist self-labelling: “I’m just a worrier.” “Gossip is my weakness.” “My dad was a drinker; I guess I’ll carry on the tradition.” Stop that! These words create alliances with the devil. They grant him access to your spirit. It’s not God’s will that you live a defeated, unhappy life. Turn a deaf ear to the old voices and make new choices. “The lines have fallen to me in pleasant places; yes, I have a good inheritance” (Psalm 16:6 NKJV).

Live out of your inheritance, not your circumstances. God has already promised you victory and provided you with weapons for the fight. “Though we walk in the flesh, we do not war according to the flesh. For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal but mighty in God for pulling down strongholds” (2 Corinthians 10:3-4 NKJV). How did Joshua conquer Jericho? By using God’s strategy: “Take up the ark of the covenant and let seven priests bear seven trumpets of rams’ horns before the ark of the Lord” (Joshua 6:6 NKJV). The ark of the covenant was the symbol of God’s presence.

Joshua placed it in the middle of the procession. Every activity orbited around God. The secret of victory is to keep God centre stage in your life, using the weapons of worship, Scripture, and prayer. Employ every tool God offers: Scripture memorisation and petition. Turn off the TV and open the Bible more. Worry less and pray more. You can conquer your hang-ups by drawing daily on the presence of God.

SoulFood: 2 Chr 29–31 Mark 7:1–13 Ps 119:97–104 Pro 21:24–27

PRAY AND BELIEVE GOD FOR HEALING

“Heal me, O Lord, and I shall be healed.” Jeremiah 17:14 NKJV

Dr. A. B. Simpson, founder of the Christian and Missionary Alliance, was plagued with poor health. Two nervous breakdowns and a heart condition led to a physician telling him—at age thirty-eight—he wouldn’t live to be forty. The diagnosis was no surprise to Simpson. Preaching was agonising for him; even climbing a slight elevation left him breathless.

In desperation, he went to his Bible to find out what Jesus had to say about disease, and he became convinced that Jesus wanted to heal him. Shortly after, he went for a walk in the country. Coming to a pine woods, he sat down on a log to rest and pray. He asked Christ to become his physical life until his life’s work was accomplished. He later said, “Every fibre in me was tingling with the sense of God’s presence.” Days later, he climbed a 3,000-foot mountain. “When I reached the top,” he said, “the world of weakness and fear was lying at my feet. From that time on, I literally had a new heart.”

He went on to preach 3,000 sermons in the next three years, sometimes holding twenty meetings a week. He became a prolific author whose books are still blessing the world. And he died—at the age of seventy-six. In the Bible, Jeremiah prayed: “Heal me, O Lord, and I shall be healed.” David said, “O Lord my God, I cried out to You, and You healed me…You brought my soul up from the grave” (Psalm 30:2-3 NKJV). Isaiah said, “You will restore me and make me live” (Isaiah 38:16 NKJV). So pray and believe God for healing.

HAVE A COOPERATIVE SPIRIT

“We are God’s workers, working together.” 1 Corinthians 3:9 NCV

A cooperative spirit will become your norm once you embrace the fact that you plant seeds for your own success when you support others. Take the case of Paul and Apollos. Some of the Christians at Corinth felt they had to choose sides as to which one to follow—despite the fact that they preached the same gospel. Paul took them to task for their carnal attitudes.

“One of you says, ‘I belong to Paul,’ and another says, ‘I belong to Apollos.’ When you say things like this, you are acting like people of the world. Is Apollos important? No! Is Paul important? No! We are only servants of God who helped you believe. Each one of us did the work God gave us to do. I planted the seed, and Apollos watered it. But God is the One who made it grow. So the one who plants is not important, and the one who waters is not important. Only God, who makes things grow, is important…We are God’s workers, working together” (1 Corinthians 3:4-9 NCV). In an attempt to blow out another’s light so that their own lights can shine, some ministers make disparaging remarks about other ministries.

And it’s such a turnoff to both believers and non-believers. Paul’s primary objective was to spread the gospel, and he wanted to make sure that no minister was hindered from doing so. In his letter to Titus, he encouraged believers to give Apollos their full support: “Do everything you can to help…Apollos” (Titus 3:13 NLT). Such a request could emanate only from a secure heart. So the word for you today is—have a cooperative spirit.

UNDERSTANDING THE KINGDOM OF GOD

“The kingdom of God is within you.” Luke 17:21 NKJV

In one sense, the kingdom of God is future, eternal, and heavenly. When Christ returns to set up His kingdom on earth, the prophecy will be fulfilled: “The kingdoms of this world have become the kingdoms of our Lord and of His Christ, and He shall reign forever and ever!” (Revelation 11:15 NKJV). What a glorious day that will be for all of God’s redeemed children.

But until then, Jesus said, “The kingdom of God is within you.” That means as a born-again believer living in this world, you’re called to demonstrate what it means to live under the rule of the King of kings and Lord of lords. Winston Churchill famously quipped: “Democracy is the worst form of government, except for all those other forms that have been tried.” All human government is flawed and ultimately destined to fail because it’s made up of flawed human beings. So as citizens of the kingdom of God, we are called to be “light” that illuminates darkness and dispels ignorance, and “salt” that flavours, cleanses, heals, and enriches the lives of those we come in contact with (see Matthew 5:13-14).

We are called to practice the principles of God’s kingdom in the marketplace of life. Whether you work in education, transportation, medicine, politics, agriculture, IT, sales, manufacturing, etc., you are called to demonstrate the benefits of living under the rule of Christ and by the guidance of His indwelling Holy Spirit. “The kingdoms of this world have become the kingdoms of our Lord.” When Christ returns, that promise will be totally fulfilled. Until then, Jesus said, “Occupy till I come” (Luke 19:13 KJV).

MONEY: HOW YOU GET IT, AND GIVE IT

“All things come from You, and of Your own [hand] we have given You.” 1 Chronicles 29:14 NKJV

Many of the heroes in the Bible were wealthy individuals. “Abram was very rich in livestock, in silver, and in gold” (Genesis 13:2 NKJV). King David “died in a good old age, full of days and riches and honour” (1 Chronicles 29:28 NKJV). Barnabas, a wealthy landowner, made possible the expansion of the early church when he sold a piece of real estate and gave the money to the apostles (see Acts 4:36-37).

There is nothing wrong with wealth in and of itself. The things that matter are:
(1) How you get it.
“Come now, you rich, weep and howl for your miseries that are coming upon you! … The wages of the labourers who mowed your fields, which you kept back by fraud, cry out; and the cries of the reapers have reached the ears of the Lord” (James 5:1, 4 NKJV). The God who records and rewards also observes how you do business.

(2) How you give it.
David said, “All things come from You, and of Your own [hand] we have given You.” So when God speaks to you to give, try to remember these two things:
(a) He is asking for a portion of what already belongs to Him. You don’t own it; you manage it for Him.
(b) You always reap what you sow.
“Whatever a man sows, that he will also reap” (Galatians 6:7 NKJV). And in God’s economy, you reap more than you sow. If you plant a single grain of corn, you reap a cornstalk with hundreds of grains like itself. So give and God will give back to you.

SoulFood: 2 Chr 19–21 Mark 6:14–29 Ps 119:73–80 Pro 21:14–16

LET’S TELL THE WHOLE WORLD ABOUT JESUS

“Then I said, ‘Here am I! Send me.’” Isaiah 6:8 NKJV

One of the greatest disasters of history took place in 1271. That year, Niccolo and Matteo Polo, the father and uncle of Marco Polo, visited Kublai Khan, who was considered the world ruler—with authority over all China, India, and the entire East. Kublai Khan was attracted to the story of Christianity as Niccolo and Matteo told it to him.

He said to them, “You shall go to your high priest and tell him on my behalf to send me a hundred men skilled in your religion and I shall be baptized. And when I am baptized, all my barons and great men will be baptized and their subjects will receive baptism, too. And so there will be more Christians here than there are in your parts of the world.” But amazingly, nothing was done in response to what Kublai Khan requested. Only after thirty years was a handful of missionaries sent. Too few, too late! Christian leaders in the West apparently didn’t have the vision to see the East won to Christ. The mind boggles at the possible ways the world might be different today if thirteenth-century China, India, and the other areas of Asia had become Christian.

Now it’s up to us! You say, “What can I do? I’m only one person.” You can do three things:
(1) “Pray the Lord of the harvest to send out labourers into His harvest” (Matthew 9:38 NKJV).
(2) Give, so that the unsaved can be reached with the gospel (see 2 Corinthians 9:7).
(3) If God calls you, go! “Then I said, ‘Here am I! Send me.’”

“EVALUATE YOUR EXPECTATIONS

“My soul, wait thou only upon God; for my expectation is from Him.” Psalm 62:5 KJV

We all have expectations of others. Many times, we may not be totally aware of our expectations, or we don’t express them or will not acknowledge that they are unrealistic. Therefore, they can cause us a great deal of frustration. Failed expectations will always create stress if we allow them.

Unfortunately, some of the most harmful expectations are the ones we have of ourselves. “I should be able to raise three children, have dinner on the table each night, work ten-hour days, and look perfect when my husband walks through the door.” Make a list of your key expectations beginning with the most important people in your life, and list your key expectations of each person. Try to be objective in whether they are realistic. Understand the origin or core reason for an expectation. Have you shared these expectations? If not, why not? Do you fear rejection? What is the worst that could happen? Are you willing to negotiate some of your expectations?

To preserve your peace, there may be instances in which you may have to eliminate certain expectations. The psalmist wrote: “My soul, wait thou only upon God; for my expectation is from him.” That means you may have to expect less from people and more from God. Don’t set yourself up to be frustrated. Bring your expectations before God for a valuation. Let Him w**d out the unrealistic ones and give you the courage to express the ones that need to be communicated. Trust God to influence the hearts of those involved so your expectations don’t become a source of stress for you or them.

SoulFood: 2 Chr 12–15 Mark 5:31–43 Ps 119:57–64 Pro 21:7–9

“KEYS TO SPIRITUAL GROWTH

“Grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.” 2 Peter 3:18 NKJV

How can you grow spiritually? By doing these five things:

(1) Rediscover the Bible.
You will never grow spiritually without soaking your mind in Scripture. When Jesus told the devil, “Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds from the mouth of God” (Matthew 4:4 NKJV), He was quoting a verse from Deuteronomy that He’d memorized. If Jesus needed the Scriptures, you do too.

(2) Restart your prayer life.
Charles Spurgeon said, “As well could you expect a plant to grow without air and water as to expect your heart to grow without prayer and faith.” When you venture into the realm of the impossible and start praying for God to move supernaturally in your life, you will begin to see miracles.

(3) Reconnect with God’s people.
“Let us consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deeds, not giving up meeting together…but encouraging one another” (Hebrews 10:24-25 NIV).

(4) Resist your sinful habits.
“The temptations in your life are no different from what others experience. And God is faithful. He will not allow the temptation to be more than you can stand. When you are tempted, he will show you a way out so that you can endure” (1 Corinthians 10:13 NLT). Always choose God’s “way out.”

(5) Invest in others.
God has a place for you to serve and people for you to invest in. Make a quality decision that you are not going to just sit in church and soak up one more sermon; instead, begin to act on what you have learned.

SoulFood: 2 Chr 8–11 Mark 5:21–30 Ps 119:49–56 Pro 21:4–6
