YOU CAN DO ALL THINGS

SCRIPTURE READING: Philippians 4:10-20

"I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me." Philippians 4:13

The Apostle Paul had a 'can do' spirit. When the Lord Jesus called him into the ministry, Paul faced so many barriers. His task was to take the gospel beyond the Jewish community. That task required Paul to break several barriers — spiritual, mental, physical, racial, social and gender. He had to deal with rejection, scarcity, hunger, and severe persecution. Faced with all these challenges, Paul still proclaimed, 'I can do all things'.

Barriers of impossibility confront us daily. Some of those barriers are physical realities, but many of them are mental barriers. After we have faced impossibilities for so long, and seen others fail, we accept failure as our reality.

For so many years, the record for the mile in athletics hovered above four minutes. Many people said the limits of physical capacity had been reached; and that it was impossible to break the four-minute barrier.

In 1954, Roger Bannister broke the tape at 3:59.4. And what was the result? Well, as soon as the myth of the 'impossible barrier' was dispelled, the four-minute mile was attacked and pierced by many with apparent ease. In almost no time, the four-minute achievement was bettered sixty-six times by twenty-six different runners! Bannister broke the myth of the four-minute mile and created an atmosphere of possibility for successive runners.

Christ has broken all barriers of impossibility so that we can also break barriers in life. When we come into a relationship with Christ, He becomes our new reality. His word becomes our mandate. His grace becomes our strength and His power our source of energy and action. What He says we can do, we can do! What He says is possible, is possible.

Let us live with these two realities.

• Christ is my strength. The Lord gives us power to do what He has done.

• I can do all things through Him. Through the abiding presence of the Holy Spirit, we have divine ability to overcome barriers.

We cannot serve an all-powerful God and continue to make excuses for our non-performance. He is there to empower us if we will just accept His word as it is and act on it with faith.

PRAYER

Heavenly Father, I receive the fullness of your ability in my life and boldly step out to break barriers. In Jesus' name, Amen.

WHEN I WAS A CHILD

SCRIPTURE READING: 1 Corinthians 13

"When I was a child, I spoke as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child; but when I became a man, I put away childish things." 1 Corinthians 13:11

Learning is in stages. In both our natural and spiritual lives, learning is part of our growth. What we learn at an earlier age helps us to learn new things in our later years. If we do not master the things at a lower level, we cannot grasp the higher things. If we do not master our ABCs, so to speak, we cannot master our spellings.

The Apostle Paul describes three stages of growth.

• Thinking as a child. It is cute for children to think and speak like children. We all have instances when we've seen a child play a prank or say something that convulsed us with laughter. A child's combination of innocence, unfiltered thoughts and poorly-formed words can make us marvel at their brilliance. The only reason why we see what the child does as brilliant is because he or she is a child. Similarly, when we are new at learning anything, people may see our mistakes as cute.

• Becoming a man. Usually, our bodies grow ahead of our minds. As we add up birthday after birthday, it should dawn on us that we are growing. After blowing the birthday candles and eating the cake, we must recognise the reality of our age. We are no longer whom we used to be. That is something we must come to terms with both physically and spiritually.

• Putting away childish things. When we grow, we must change. As a child grows, his or her mistakes will no longer be cute. Parents get worried when childish behaviour continues. The scriptures tell us that as we grow in life, we must put some things away. That means we have to make the effort to stop some patterns of behaviour.

When adults behave like children, they turn people off. Similarly, as we grow in Christ, we must put off spiritual 'babyism'.

PRAYER
Heavenly Father, help me to put away every thought and action that holds me bound to my childish past. In Jesus' name, Amen.

LOOK TO GOD

SCRIPTURE READING: Mark 10:46-52

"Then many warned him to be quiet; but he cried out all the more, 'Son of David, have mercy on me!'" Mark 10:48

The devil will always have someone available to tell us why we shouldn't expect to get results when petitioning God. Most people would rather stay with the crowd and not do anything to draw attention to themselves, even if that means not getting their needs met. They will try to make you conform as well. If this man had listened to the crowd, he would not have received his healing.

This blind man is a good example of an active kind of faith. He was not passive in his approach toward healing. He boldly cried out to Jesus for mercy. When the crowd ridiculed him and told him to be quiet, he cried out even louder for mercy.

Many people believe that God can perform the miracle they need but relatively few are willing to actively pursue it until they get results. They are afraid of what others will think of them. This man had his attention focused only on Jesus. Nothing else mattered and that is why he got healed.

An integral part of faith is seeking God only with your whole heart. If we are concerned about what people think in order to gain their approval, we will never take a stand in faith for anything that we might be criticised for. This is one thing that has stopped so many people from receiving from God. You cannot be a 'man-pleaser' and please God at the same time. Satan uses persecution to steal away God's Word and thereby stop our faith.

Don't rest until you become all God wants you to be.

PRAYER: Heavenly Father, help me to look to you alone and seek you with all my heart. In Jesus' name, Amen.
