STAYING POWER

'Joseph had a dream, and when he told it to his brothers, they hated him.'

Genesis 37:5 NIV 2011 Edition

Staying Power overcomes misunderstanding and rejection. Sometimes the people you count on to support you will actactually undercut you. When God gives you a vision too big for them to handle, they'll say, you are getting too big in your boots,' and then try to cut you down to size - their size. 

Joseph's brothers sold him into slavery, and then went home and told their father he'd been killed by a wild beast. Can you imagine how Joseph felt when someone asked him, 'Tell me about your family? General Dwight D Eisenhower said, 'THERE ARE NO VICTORIES AT BARGAIN PRICES'. And sadly, betrayal happens as often in church as in secular societies. When Charles Spurgeon was in his early twenties, such large crowds came to his church that the building couldn't accommodate them. So he met with thirty of his church leaders and suggested they build an auditorium that will sit 5,500 people. Allegedly, he told them that if any of them doubted the possibility of accomplishing this they should leave. And twenty-three did. But Spurgeon held true to the vision God had given him. He had the 'stickability' to see it through and for over thirty-five years crowds packed the Metropolitan Tabernacle morning ans night, making it one of the most influential churches in history. Got any rivers you think are uncrossable? Got any mountains you can't tunnel through?  God specialises in things thought impossible; HE CAN DO JUST WHAT NO ONE CAN DO. 

I have the Staying Power

I have the Stickability

I have the Technology

I have the Tenacity

I have the Endurance

I have the Passion 

I have what it takes to take the WORD OF GOD to the levels and dimensions God has placed in my heart to do. 

The idea of having my own website to blog the WORD OF GOD was in imaginable to some. Well it getting bigger.
