Just a Thought

Life is tough! You’re response to that would be “tell me something I don’t know.” During these uncertain times I find the need to be reminded of some of the basic truths of my standing in Christ. The truth I need today is Ephesians 3:20 “Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us.”

The power that is appropriated to me as a child of God is the same power God used to raise Christ from the grave. Ephesians 1:19-20 “And what is the exceeding greatness of his power to us-ward who believe, according to the working of his mighty power, which he wrought in Christ, when he raised him from the dead, and set him at his own right hand in the heavenly places.”  With that in mind, is there any question as to why Paul would declare that the power of God living in us goes beyond anything we can measure or imagine.

How would life change for us if we tapped into God’s power and allowed it to work in us and through us? I don’t think life would be nearly as tough, as a matter of fact, we may start enjoying life in these uncertain times. Just a thought.

    I left a ministry a lttile over 3 years ago where I served as the Executive Pastor, where I was empowered to make almost any ministry move I deemed necessary, and where I was held in high esteem by both the congregation and staff. Your probably asking at this point, Are you crazy, why would you leave? Unfortunately, the Senior Pastor (who was and continues to be my best friend) insisted on being the vision/change initiator, he was a great pastoral care giver, but not a great leader/vision caster. Simply put His lack of the gift of Leadership held the church back, it was the perfect storm, the Senior Leader occupied the wrong seat on the bus! While I was there the church grew from about 100 to 300 in attendance, it remains there 3 years later.I started leaving 3 years before I finally departed and believe the church in stronger because I honored the Senior Pastor and my friend even though I disagreed (always in private). Leaving truly felt like the pulling of flesh from my bones, it was painful as I left a congregation and a friend whom I love. Waiting those 3 years was one of the hardest and yet best things I've ever done, there were times in the past where I displayed neither the patience nor the wisdom to do the right thing. I waited on God's direction, faithfully served and did not leave until I saw God's direction for my next place of ministry service. I thank God everyday for where He has positioned me for ministry at this point as it may be the only place where my gifts can be fully leveraged for the Kingdom, where the vision is greater than I could ever dream or imagine, and where ministry leaders are empowered to challenge everything that is currently being done for Kingdom advancement. After more than 3 years in my current position I wake up every morning eager to be part of what God is doing but remember when it wasn't that way!I hope this connects with some thinking it's time for a change, if you are considering moving from your current ministry position to another I urge you to listen for the unmistakable voice of God saying:Your ears will hear a voice behind you, saying, This is the way; walk in it Isaiah 30:21
