September - Winner's Circle!
As I prepared to write this month's words of encouragement, i pondered on how we define REALITY. When the morning of the first of September started, I felt elated! First because, its the last month of the 3rd quarter, which means we are done 3/4th of 2008, also because the month of september is dear to my heart for many reasons. I rejoiced in my spirit, I knew it was going to be a turn-around month for many. And yet today, my heart is heavy and my mind hesitant to trust the same words I announced days earlier...Was it because the truth in the words had changed? Or was it that my perception had changed? This leads me to my question for this month...What makes a thing REAL?Is it our ability to percieve it with our senses? if that were true, that would make microbes unreal, that would make AIR unreal, that would make radiowaves, telecommunication signals and many of the perks of modern day life UNREAL.Is it whether or not it can be scientifically or emphirically measured? That would mean everything we are yet to discovered is UNREAL (the folly of that is in its definition, as we know that a discovery does not disprove the existence of a phenomenon prior to its discovery) or to bring it closer home, are our feelings, our intuition etc are unreal because we dont have an empirical definition for them? SO what then is REALITY? Recent theories of Quantum physics suggest that time is not a linear plane. In other words at every moment in time, we can alter the direction of our reality. It took scientists hundreds of years to discover what Jesus had told us 2000 years ago when he said 'ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE TO HIM THAT BELIEVETH'. He said 'If you say unto this mountain ...BE MOVED and do not doubt in your heart, it shall be done unto you'. He said 'Ye shall walk upon scorpions and...nothing SHALL BY ANY MEANS HURT YOU'. When i re-read this scripture, it occured to me that Christ was showing us THE way to discovering the many outstanding REALITIES that exist.So in September I ask you all, WHAT IS YOUR REALITY? Do you want God's reality to be yours, Do you want his thoughts for your life to be the only TRUTH for you? Do you want to look back at the end of this month and realise that you just walked on WATER???The Choice is yours today....May the Lord bless us, and teach us his words...his reality and help us become the Champions we really are...AMEN
