Divine Nature

At a fundraising dinner for a school that serves children with learning disabilities, the father of one of the students delivered a speech that would never be forgotten by all who attended. After extolling the school and its dedicated staff, he offered a question: 'When not interfered with by outside influences, everything nature does, is done with perfection’. Yet my son, Shay, cannot learn things as other children do. He cannot understand things as other children do. Where is the natural order of things in my son?' The audience was stilled by the query. The father continued. 'I believe that when a child like Shay, who is mentally and physically disabled, comes into the world, an opportunity to realize true human nature presents itself, and it comes in the way other people treat that child.' Then he told the following story. Shay and I had walked past a park where some boys Shay knew were playing baseball. Shay asked, 'Do you think they'll let me play?' ...

His father takes him into the forest, blindfolds him and leaves him alone. He is required to sit on a stump the whole night and not remove the blindfold until the rays of the morning sun shine through it. He cannot cry out for help to anyone. Once he survives the night, he is a MAN He cannot tell the other boys of this experience, because each lad must come into manhood on his own. The boy is naturally terrified. He can hear all kinds of noises. Wild beasts must surely be all around him . Maybe even some human might do him harm. The wind blew the grass and earth, and shook his stump, but he sat stoically, never removing the blindfold. It would be the only way he could become a man! Finally, after a horrific night the sun appeared and he removed his blindfold. It was then that he discovered his father sitting on the stump next to him. He had been at watch the entire n...

I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me (Philippians 4:13). Christ’ in our opening Scripture doesn’t refer to the Man Jesus; it means “the Anointed One and His anointing.” It refers to the supernatural empowerment Jesus received when the Holy Spirit came upon Him, which made Him the Christ. You received the same Holy Spirit when you were born again. The Spirit of God is letting you know that you’ve been endued with God’s supernatural ability. Therefore, look beyond what your physical ability can do. Never let your confidence rest in your intellect or in your physical ability because there’s a divine energy available to you. That energy is the power of the Holy Spirit which you must recognize and put to work in your life everyday. With you, nothing is impossible. Cultivate the “I can do mentality” and be possibility-conscious. For example, if you’re a student, never admit that something you’ve read is too difficult for you to understand. Rather, tell yourself, “I ha...

And whosoever will be chief among you, let him be your servant: Even as the Son of man came not to be ministered unto, but to minister, and to give his life a ransom for many (Matthew 20:27-28). One of the areas the Spirit of God instructed us to strengthen this month, is our resolve to serve the Lord. In this month of August, you must strengthen your desire and passion for the Lord and His house. The Lord Jesus was the epitome of selfless service. Though He was the Son of God, He humbled himself to man’s level and gave His life as a ransom for the whole world. Now, He says “your attitude must be like my own, for I the messiah did not come to be served but to serve and to give my life as a ransom” (Matthew 20:27-28 TLB). That means we ought to copy the Master’s attitude of being service conscious. This month, we shouldn’t desire for others to serve us, or try to lord over others; rather, we must strengthen our resolve and be ready to serve the Lord with every opportunity that comes...
