WHAT DOES THE WORD "SUCCESS" MEAN TO YOU?

The battles against your life are not against your success, but more against you using your success for the right purpose. A Failure in life is not someone who is not a non-achiever, but an achiever who is ignorant of the purpose attached to his or her achievements. The world defines success based on what people have and who they are; success is none of the above. Who you are, and what you have are merely raw materials for success. Success is what one ultimately accomplishes by employing and deploying what one has and who one is. Many people are being distracted by what they have and who they are, instead of focusing on what they can accomplish using what God has given them.

There is a purpose attached to everything; doing business with the consciousness of purpose in view is an evidence of wisdom. Don't celebrate "what," at the expense of "why." Dr Benard Etta

How in the World?

Posted by Global Faith Coalition on March 22, 2015 at 2:30pm

I have been pondering the whole week on what it really means to be a disciple of the one that created all things and by him, all things consist. Join me to ponder!

It seems religion has watered down the power and glory associated to being a disciple of Christ. How on earth could one claim to be a disciple of the one in whom is all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge and be so confused, running around looking for prophecies and petty prayers? Still pondering! Where have we missed it?

Behold, I and the children whom the LORD hath given me are for signs and for wonders in Israel from the LORD of hosts, which dwelleth in mount Zion. Isaiah 8:18. 

God's children were supposed to be marvels, symbols, signs and wonders in all fields of life, not religious fanatics and zealots with nothing relevant to bring to the table, but empty religious arguments.

I don't know about you, but as for me, I am sick and tired of what is offered today in Christendom as experience with God. It is weak, anemic, and spineless in dire need of a heaven-sent revolution.

Aristotle was a disciple of Plato, the father of Western philosophy and science, and it showed in his philosophical and scientific proficiency. How in the world would someone say he or she is a disciple of Christ and all he or she has to show is a gigantic King James version of the Bible, he or she takes to church and baseless religious and theological arguments?

How can a disciple of the Word that became flesh, full of grace and truth, be a commoner, with no impact and influence on lives? I think we are missing something. We need a redefinition of what it means to be an individual related and connected to Christ, the infinite wisdom and the power of God.

Hear now, O Joshua the high priest, thou, and thy fellows that sit before thee: for they are men wondered at: for, behold, I will bring forth my servant the BRANCH. Zec 3:8. 

For this same purpose, I came into the world, to inspire a new move of God, with a revolutionary impetus on what we call Christianity today and to raise a new generation of Kingdom ambassadors. So help me God! DrBenard Etta

Wisdom To Turn Trash Into Treasure

The wisdom to turn trash into treasure; to make sense out of nonsense, to transform obstacles into miracles; pain to gain; setbacks into a setup for a comeback is the real measurement of maturity. Sometimes, God may not remove the necessity, but would give you the wisdom to transform it into an invention. When Israel saw Goliath, they saw a problem, but David saw an opportunity for greatness. You can't rise above your perspective and perception of issues. I wish you a blessed week.  DrBenard Etta

 

Don't Mistake Disgrace For Grace!

When it is too easy, it isn't always a sign of God's grace at work; it may also be an indication that the "object or mission" even though fabulous, might be of little eternal consequences.

The ideas, visions, and dreams, which have actually changed the world positively, and impacted time and eternity didn't come easy. The absence of battles may not necessarily be an indication of a breakthrough. It might as well be an indication that the axe head, representing the "edge of effectiveness" is missing.

Why on earth would Hell fight an idea, vision and movement when it's aware it isn't longer a threat? That's why the devil sponsors some churches and ministries since they don't threaten his overall plan.

The bottom line is, when one is no longer a menace (threat) to Hell, Hell will stop fighting the individual, while concentrating its resources to fight those carrying the most dangerous lights, which can destroy its deceptions. May God help us to think deep in order not to mistake disgrace for grace. Ponder to be a wonder!

No nation can experience positive transformation unless it is rescued from the ignorance propagated by individuals who use religion and politics for self aggrandizement. There seem to be a romance between religion and politics aimed at taking captive the minds of the masses, deceiving and leading them to self-destruct. The 21st century church will stem the tides of these twin evils through a peaceful revolution with truth as its weapon. DrBenard  Etta
