Why Make The Commitment?

Dr. Mike Kingdom Paradigms
Jesus said to him, “No one who puts his hand to the plow and looks back is fit for the kingdom of God.” Luke 9:62 ESV

 commitment 2

Without commitment, rarely anything good happens for the long term.

Without commitment, there is no personal growth.

Without commitment, trust is questioned.

Without commitment, goals are only dreams.

Without commitment, love doesn’t bloom.

Without commitment, friendship is shallow.

Without commitment, a business is surely to fail.

Without commitment, a marriage is only a negotiable contract.

Without commitment, God is only an idea.

Without commitment, treaties between countries is a fantasy.

Without commitment, laws are only a suggestion.

Without commitment, excellence is never obtained.

Without commitment, accountability is waived.

Without commitment, faith is an illusion.

Our Triune God sets the standard for commitment. He made the commitment before the foundation of the world to birth a new humanity (Ephesians 1:4). No matter how often mankind messes up the process, He is always faithful. His commitment for us is revealed each day. How about you? What is your commitment level?

More Prayer, Greater Opportunities, Better Choices

Dr. Mike Kingdom Paradigms, Life in Christ , , ,
“And this is my prayer: that your love may abound more and more in knowledge and depth of insight,” Philippians 1:9 NIV

PRAY 34

Want to improve your love life? Your career? Your financial house?

Pray!

Prayer is the means we commune with the Great Designer. The same Being who is Love, who enjoys work, and knows our basic necessities as a human being.

His desire is to share His life in you, with you, and through you. But he is respective of your boundaries. He will not force you to comply with his desires. Rather he wants you to willfully choose to be in a meaningful relationship with Him.

Prayer is the means he designed for that purpose. It is heaven’s cell phone.
You have direct contact with your heavenly Dad who wants his children to succeed in life.

It doesn’t take a college degree, an introduction by a high ranking official, or a specific position for him to hear you. It only takes a willing heart. A heart that wants to be in a relationship. A heart that wants to learn and grow in the relationship.

As you venture into the area of prayer, you will discover a new addiction. One that helps you view life through the same eyes of the Man-God that walked the earth 2,000 years ago. You will begin to see opportunities that weren’t there before. You will make choices with a more long-term horizon. You will experience the joy of walking in the presence of your heavenly Dad.

It happens when you live a prayer-full life.

Problem-Solver

Dr. Mike Kingdom Paradigms
“When Jesus saw him lying there and learned that he had been in this condition for a long time, he asked him, “Do you want to get well?”
“Sir,” the invalid replied, “I have no one to help me into the pool when the water is stirred. While I am trying to get in, someone else goes down ahead of me.” Then Jesus said to him, “Get up! Pick up your mat and walk.” At once the man was cured; he picked up his mat and walked. John 5:6-9 ESV

How can we best preach the gospel without using words?

Be a problem-solver!

Ever noticed how Jesus related with people who he first met? He first started out to determine the problem, then shared his resources to resolve the problem. Afterward he would present God’s word on the matter.

Review the gospel accounts yourself. See for yourself how Jesus solved the problems of others. Every solution increased his credibility and created a platform for him to preach.

So in your business and relationships, if you want to be a little Christ and preach the gospel loudly without words, discover their problem and solve it. As you gain credibility, you will eventually have the opportunity to share the gospel message with words for an attentive ear.
