GO GREATER: PREPARE FOR IMPACT

Leon FontaineDevoted

Enlarge your house. You are going to need a bigger place; don’t underestimate the amount of room that you’ll need. So build, build, build. You will increase in every direction to fill the world. Your offspring will take over the nations; your people will revitalize long-abandoned towns. Isaiah 54:2–3 (VOICE)  Over the next few days, I want to share five principles to help you go greater with God.  First, you need to prepare for a greater impact with your life. Get ready to have a bigger impact on your family, neighbours and city. Picture making a difference in your career and relationship circles.  Isaiah 54 talks about enlarging the place of your tent and preparing for increase. This scripture is prophetic about the church, but it’s also about …

GO GREATER

The way of the righteous is like the first gleam of dawn, which shines ever brighter until the full light of day. Proverbs 4:18 (NLT)  I was a football quarterback in high school. Whenever we got down to the last few seconds of the game and needed points to win, I never chose a player at random to make the final play. I knew exactly who could push through anything and take the ball into the end zone. Most people perform worse when it’s crunch time, but these players thrived under pressure—it drove them to run faster, catch better and score more.  Which kind of player are you? Today I want to begin teaching you how to go greater in life when the pressure is on. If fear …

HE SEES YOUR POTENTIAL

Where there is no vision, the people perish: but he that keepeth the law, happy is he. Proverbs 29:18 (KJV)  No vision is needed to be average or to maintain the status quo. To have a vision means to look ahead and stir up your faith to think bigger—to dream of what you could do and where you could go with God.  All too often, we allow our failures and losses to diminish our vision. But God doesn’t speak to you based on your past. He speaks to you based on your future. He sees your potential. God’s Word is full of people who didn’t seem to have much going for them, yet they went on to do great things.  Think of Gideon. God found him …

Éstos son los nombres de los mejores soldados de David: Is-bóset, el hacmonita, jefe de los tres más valientes, que en una ocasión mató ochocientos hombres con su lanza. 2 Samuel 23:8 (DHH)  David fue un gran rey israelí que se rodeó de personas valientes y fuertes. Varios cientos de guerreros hábiles, conocidos como sus Hombres Poderosos, se sintieron atraídos por su liderazgo mucho antes de que llegara a ser rey. En particular, 2 Samuel 23:8-12 menciona a los Tres, sus guerreros mejor clasificados elegidos por su carácter y sus increíbles actos de valentía.  Podemos aprender mucho sobre el tipo de personas que podemos llegar a ser al observar a estos tres hombres. Hoy vamos a ver al primero.  Josheb-Basshebeth, el líder de los tres …

EL AMOR NO SE GANA

Leon FontaineEntregate

Así hemos llegado a saber y creer que Dios nos ama. Dios es amor, y el que vive en el amor, vive en Dios y Dios en él. 1 Juan 4:16 (DHH)  Según 1 Juan 4:16, “Dios es amor”. Si Dios es amor, ¿cree usted que Él se ama a sí mismo? ¿Tiene Dios una visión favorable de sí mismo? ¿Se respeta a sí mismo?  De alguna manera, pensamos que está bien que Dios piense bien de sí mismo porque Él es perfecto, pero hemos creído la mentira de que el amor debe ganarse a través de un comportamiento perfecto. Esto contradice todo lo que Jesús vino a traer a esta tierra. Dios lo ama, ya sea que usted se lo gane o no. Él …
