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: Spirit of Python: Teaching Angels to Worship

When you are going to hell/trails and you worship is when you can teach the Angels to Worship :) 1) God is Spirit : the Spirit is looking for people who will worship Him in truth and In spirit. *In Truth: the right truth (Jesus : see John 14:6) * In Spirit: even during trails we need to be in the spirit of Joy, Faith, Hope and Love "God is spirit,  and his worshipers must worship in the Spirit and in truth.” John 4:24 2) God can make something out of nothing : before God spoke the world into motion it was nothing. He took what was nothing made it into something. He also hung it on nothing, there is nothing that holds the universe in place! “Where were you when I laid the earth’s foundation?      Tell me, if you understand." Job 38:4 How and when can we teach worship to the Angels? Angels Vs. Us Angels 1) Angels have never been nor will they ever be under the course of sin 2) They live in a perfect place (Heaven) 3) The fir...

Sermon by Jentezen Franklin: The Power of Doing More than Expected

Even Jesus went a little farther...He did more than expected! Going a little farther, he fell with his face to the ground and prayed, “My Father, if it is possible, may this cup be taken from me. Yet not as I will, but as you will.” Matthew 26:39 1) Jacob was working for his unfair father-in-law...and still did more than expected   Genesis 29 Jacob was tricked by his father-in-law Laban. But he never sinned against Laban and he always did more than what was expected from him! 2) Who did Jacob learn it from..doing more than expected? From his mother Rebekah "17  The servant hurried to meet her and said, “Please give me a little water from your jar.” 18  “Drink, my lord,” she said, and quickly lowered the jar to her hands and gave him a drink. 19  After she had given him a drink, she said, “I’ll draw water for your camels too, until they have had enough to drink.” 20  So she quickly emptied her jar into the trough, ran back to the we...

Just Jaded!

I hope you and your loved ones are safe in these crazy times. If any tragedy has come to your home, I pray God's peace and love envelops you right where you are. I pray that you rely on His unending love, mercy, grace, and strength in this time of hardship... I am, like most people, feeling very jaded. I have experienced more highs and lows in such intense frequencies now than any other time I can remember. I believe this is why the Lord has me sharing this... I had planned to write about loving people and what it looks like in different seasons. However, I felt a nudge that I should be sharing about the hope I have despite feeling jaded. To make sure we are on the same page about what I mean when I say jaded, here are two definitions from Merriam Webster's dictionary:  1: fatigued by overwork: EXHAUSTED  2: made dull, apathetic, or cynical by experience or by having or seeing too much of something I can identify with both definitions. In this season, I fin...
