Just an employee


 I warned you guys that once I started writing about where I work I will never stop right? Well if I didn’t before this, take it as a fair warning. It was one of my longer shifts and I had sort of begun so it was still almost empty except for my enthusiastic table of four ladies. When I am not swamped with customers, I like taking my time to talk to the ones there. After couple of trips and small talks one of the ladies asked me.” Are you the owner of this place?” I was flattered and quickly replied “Nope, am just an employee!” Then she hit me with a response I didn’t see coming,” you are not Just an employee you are an employee!” I walked away as I pondered on her reply to the statement I made. Then it hit me!!!!


When we think of ourselves as Christians don’t we do the same thing?  When we see people passionately evangelizing or preaching don’t we tell ourselves that we are just Christians? I don’t know about you but I went through a phase were I gave excuses why I didn’t take it up on myself to share the Gospel or even bring God up in my conversations with non-believers , because I just said to myself that I was Just a Christian that  just goes to church.  Hence, making it seem like it isn’t my role to do those things. Amongst the many definitions of the word the one I disliked was the adverb form of the word meaning ‘merely or only’.  You are a person that Christ died for; you are a person who has inherited daughter ship/son ship to the creator of the Universe through Christ our Lord. Do you still fill the need to refer to your selves as ‘Just Christians’? Don’t you now see the need to pick your Cross up and Follow Him, not just by going to Church, no! Follow Him by worshiping Him with your life, every part of it like God said in 1Peter 3:15 “Instead, you must worship Christ as Lord of your life. And if you are asked about your Christian hope, always be ready to explain it!” Don’t you feel the need to share more, knowing that you are sharing the good news of how you became a daughter/son of the Living God! Do you now see that you are not just a Christian? “For you are all children of God through faith in Christ Jesus” Galatians 3:26
Notes:
  • You are not Just a Christian!!!! You are a Christian
  • Let us stop using ‘Just’ as an excuse to not fulfill our duties as Christians
  • You need to understand you are worth so much! So much that God gave His only son to die on a cross for your sake
Stay Blessed<3

Sermon by Jentezen Franklin: Refuse to Pretend

Be a Contender not a Pretender!  1) The time Jacob labored to get Rachel was nothing to him because of how much he loved her. Similarly when you love God all the sacrifices you make are nothing..if you truly love Him that is! "So Jacob served seven years to get Rachel, but they seemed like only a few days to him because of his love for her." Genesis 29:20 Rachel is his first Love..She is representation of Jesus and His Love where as Leah is the  substitute ..not the real one. Rachel is the one where as Leah is the second option..not the best! Leah is Religion where as Rachel is Relationship with Christ Leah is Survival where as Rachel is Revival 2) Do not be Pretenders but Contenders "Dear friends,  although I was very eager to write to you about the salvation we share,  I felt compelled to write and urge you to contend  for the faith  that was once for all entrusted to God’s holy people."Jude 1:3 Do not be like people who come to church

Sermon by Jentezen Franklin: The Way of the Eagle

God will Fly Faster than you will fall..Then He will catch you! Qualities of an Eagle..we should have these things as Christians 1) An Eagle has Great Vision: It is easy to get lost without a vision 2)  An Eagle feasts only on Living things: We are alive in Christ, we do not need the dead things of our past 3) An Eagle is Faithful : We should be faithful in our relationship with our mates, friends, families and most of all in our relationship with God! When Does an Eagle Soar to the sky with its eyes set on the sun? 1) When a storm is approaching The Eagle sets its eyes on the heaven above as a storm approaches. We need to set our Gaze on Christ when storms come our way. "Set your minds on things above, not on earthly things." Colossians 3:2 2) When its enemy approaches The Condor is Eagle's enemy and it knows the only way it can win is if the Eagle stays down (when the Eagle doesn't soar to the sky) The only way our enemy will win u
